Biarritz International Marathon - Basque Country 2026

The Marathon International de Biarritz - Pays Basque 2026 is a multi-race festival held across the Biarritz area over the weekend of 2–3 May 2026. The weekend is anchored on the traditional start and finish at Stade Aguilera and showcases a postcard‑style route that alternates coastal panoramas with village and inland sections. The event brand (Marathon International de Biarritz - Pays Basque) promotes a festive atmosphere along the course and highlights scenic Basque landmarks such as the Phare de Biarritz and the Grande Plage. Detailed schedules and some route confirmations for 2026 are published by the organisers and linked from the official race pages.

The weekend comprises a full marathon, a three‑runner marathon relay, a half marathon, 14 km coastal races including a corporate duo, a 9 km walking option, a 5 km branded race (Matmut) and multiple children’s races on the Stade Aguilera track. The event historically attracts large fields (around 16K participants in 2025) and relies on substantial volunteer support, with partners and local institutions prominent in the event communication. Practical race services explicitly listed by the organisers include electronic timing for competitive formats, on‑site bag storage and age‑based supervised kids’ races; full race rules, cut‑offs and bib pickup details are provided on the official information pages.
