ARCHIVED RACE: Behobia-San Sebastian @ San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain, 13th November 2011

The Behobia-San Sebastián is more than just a race. Above all, the Behobia-San Sebastián race is a spirit, which has been built up over many years thanks to the effort and enthusiasm of thousands of athletes like you and admired by people that value sports and know how to enjoy this type of event.

In the Behobia race, you will experience emotions that you probably haven’t felt in other races. You’ll feel the excitement from early in the morning while riding the trains full of fans heading towards the border. You’ll continue to feel it at the starting line and until you reach the finishing line of San Sebastián Boulevard while running the last stretch between two tight walls of admirers.

You will have left behind the quaint atmosphere of the Irun neighborhood of Behobia, so fluid and lively, after those long minutes during warm-up and athletic camaraderie, thanks to the facilities that have made things easier and more pleasant for you at these difficult moments; the excitement at the beginning of the race of athletes in wheelchairs, the streets of Irun packed with people, the ascent to the col of Gaintxurizketa, which sometimes seems like one of the stages in the Pyrenees during the Tour de France, as well as the descents in Lezo, among green pastures, the route that passes through Pasajes Harbor, which is no longer the desert it used to be, and in the end, the heat of the old fishermen neighborhood by the harbor at Trintxerpe, where we can hear cheers and applause in the final stretch; a human corridor that reaches the col of Miracruz and the descent to the neighborhood of Gros and finally the Zurriola seaside road and finishing line; a vibrant and spectacular finish that you will never forget , in the heart of the capital of Guipuzcoa.

You can see for yourself that the Behobia circuit is exciting and appealing. You will understand why every year you are more and better participants and you will appreciate our aim to improve every year.
