10 days for the half marathon of San Sebastian

The next 18 of May the Half Marathon of San Sebastian will celebrate its fourteenth edition. A classic among the classics that places the Donosti Media on the list of essentials in the national calendar.

 

 

Yesterday was held at the City Hall of San Sebastian the presentation of the Half Marathon of San Sebastian with the presence of Sports Councilman Josu Ruiz, Organizers and sponsors.

 

With departure and arrival in the Boulevard Donostiarra the test runs through emblematic places such as Kursaal Congress Palace, la Good Grass Cathedralr, the town hall or the Playa de la Concha among others.

 

A totally flat circuit and at sea level, which is considered one of the most beautiful and fastest of the peninsula.

 

Josu Ruiz has indicated "that this type of events that encourage sports among the population and tourism place San Sebastian as an ideal destination, has also highlighted the support of sponsors in the test in this time of crisis." For its part from the organization have been indicated some novelties of this year: the most outstanding one is the important reduction of the price of the race of 10k maintaining the same services to foment the participation.

 

3000 runners will take part in the test, of which 22% will be women, considerably increasing the participation of women in the distance of 21 km.

 

Regarding the elite athletes will take part in the race the last two male winners of the test that due to the bad weather of these last two years could not make a good mark on the circuit. The losses of the Alava Ivan Fernandez and the Catalan Jaume Leiva this year due to injury leave the orphan test of national athletes.
