Overview

The Desde Santurce a Bilbao Carrera Internacional is a 15 kilometre road race that links the port town of Santurtzi, known in Spanish as Santurce, with the city of Bilbao in the Basque Country. Runners set off in Santurtzi and cover a single continuous route to the finish in Bilbao, so the course is point to point rather than a lap or an out-and-back. The race is held on Sunday 29 November 2026, with the organisers publishing start times, entry details and any last-minute changes on the RockTheSport event page in the weeks before the day.

What you get

Finisher certificateMany road races in Spain ask entrants either for a valid athletics federation licence or for a medical certificate confirming fitness to compete. The exact requirement is set by the organiser, so confirm what applies to this event on the registration page before you complete your entry.

ResultsResults for RockTheSport-timed events are normally published on the same platform that handles the entries, usually within hours of the finish. Bookmark the event page, since any links to live results, photos and certificates tend to be posted there once the race is over.

On the day

Public transportSanturtzi sits at the western end of the Bilbao estuary and is reached easily by Metro Bilbao and by local train services from Bilbao and the surrounding towns. Travelling by public transport avoids the search for parking near the start and gets you to the assembly area without stress.

Bag dropBag storage is common at Spanish road races, but the arrangements vary from year to year and depend on the venue. Check the organiser's event page or the pre-race information they send to entrants for confirmation of whether a baggage area is provided and where it is located.

Before you enter

TransfersTransfer rules are set by the organiser and are usually tied to the registration deadline. Some events allow a name change for a fee, others do not, so contact the organisers through their event page as early as possible if your plans change rather than simply passing your number to someone else.

Keep a copy of your confirmation email and check the event page for updates, especially in the final week when weather or permit issues could affect the plan.
