4 Months of kilometers to prepare a test that for the moment will have an 36% more foreigners in the only night marathon in Europe.

Everything is on the right track. He EDP ​​Bilbao Night Marathon begins to approach and, to four months for your dispute, already offers figures that lead us to believe that the 2017 edition will become a new party of the strides with nocturnal. It will be the 21 of October when the city turns with its marathon. And half marathon. And 10K.

Because they do not think badly, this event is not only for long-distance runners, but there is also room for those who, for the moment, have not felt the call of a Philippi who, seen as seen, will have many runners emulating him in Bilbao .

And is that the provisional registration data show more than hopeful figures. The global share has risen by 16 percent while foreigners are becoming more and today their share increases an 36 percent, from different 49 countries. All compared to the same dates in the previous year.

In the absence of three months to complete the registration at a reduced price, one third of the participants in any of the three distances are women.

A rebound that comes from the hand of another data that invites us to finally dream of parity in the great marathons of Europe. And, in the total of the event, a 32 percent will be women, many of them concentrated in the test of 10 kilometers, where their presence is greater than theirs (56 percent of them by the 44 of men).

But these data, of course, are not coincidence. The organization has done a clear commitment to the internationalization of the event -always without losing the essence- and together with the Department of Tourism of the Diputación de Bizkaia has been present at the fairs of the marathons of Paris, London, Rome, Hamburg, Barcelona, ​​Bordeaux Seville or Madrid. Work that, seen the seen, is having reward.

The proof continues to maintain the prices of the inscription, that has not changed during the last three years, and that will not change until the September 30, when the 42 € (marathon), 25 € (half marathon) and 19 € (10 km) become 50 €, 30 € and 25 € respectably. Where? In www.edpbilbaomarathon.com.

That is, there comes a summer in which we will have to think if we want to enjoy the only night marathon in Europe. The same as will depart from the esplanade of San Mamés (new enclave for the exit) and that will discover the night of Bilbao in a different way, always with his laugh as the main protagonist.
