It will be on October 21 when we return to live one of the most spectacular experiences of the running scene in Spain. A new edition of the EDP Bilbao Night Marathon arrivesEDP Bilbao Night Marathon and it does it full of surprises so that the runners merge with the Bilbao night, which will lead them to a pursued, fought and highly anticipated finish line.
But before reaching that dreamed last line under the gaze of the Guggenheim Museum, the runners of each of the distances (10K, half marathon and marathon) must have crossed the streets of Bilbao after departing from the San Mamés Stadium, an icon of the city that joins the most international race in Euskadi.
From such an iconic exit they will begin to intertwine strides runners arrived from the 5 continents, because 49 are the nationalities present in the list of registrants, thus converting the EDP Bilbao Night Marathon into a test that crosses borders and cultures. A fact generated in part thanks to the Department of Tourism of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, which has supported the promotion of the test throughout Europe.
But the best part of all this is that it is still possible to be part of this festival ofl nocturnal runningor. Thes registrations will be open until October's 16 at www.edpbilbaomarathon.com but on October 1 there will be a change in the registration price, one more incentive to be on the start line, as places are limited.
In 2017 we will have a important novelty with regard to the elite athletes' plot; There will be Africans of good level not only in the marathon, but also in the average. The objectives are as clear as they are ambitious: pulverize the women's record in the 42,195 km and the stops of boys and girls in the 21,097 km.
Some runners that, in addition, will have Expokirolak a Sports Fair parallel to the test that will take place at the Euskalduna Palace and where lovers of running will be able to check the news of a world that does not stop evolving.
Does anyone really want to lose it?
