We meet you in <a href="kavval://cities/a7704d8d-f17a-4f8d-baf9-7343f890eea8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Biarritz</a>, in the <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/08b180e9-8083-4ca9-811a-2ac481ef3a11" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nouvelle-Aquitaine</a> region, for the <a href="kavval://events/99d98cc7-9c6f-44ba-afb0-62a69674d173" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">International Marathon of Biarritz</a> 📍.

This is indeed the real advantage of this race: it offers you an ideal setting to enjoy a holiday vibe in advance! Don't be surprised by the weather, as this is the magic 🪄 of the region. You might experience intense heat ☀️ or gray and rainy conditions 🌦. What an adventure! 😅Back to the race 👉.

If the marathon course catches your eye 👀, but the long distance intimidates you, no worries. You can also tackle it in a 3-person <a href="kavval://tags/relay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay</a> 🤝. This event is meant to be accessible, especially with the <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">12 km walk</a> 🚶🏼‍♂️ allowing everyone to participate! Describing the race without mentioning the course? 🫢 Let's be clear, a dual-natured course awaits you 🎭.The International Marathon of Biarritz is unique in how it varies the landscapes. You will alternate between trails and roads, city and <a href="kavval://tags/9aac2254-eb0d-4f02-a70e-ef56d14afd9d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nature</a>, <a href="kavval://tags/5bc4ab8e-733a-4740-8184-ba6b13714b33" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sea</a> and <a href="kavval://tags/58c16ed9-f7c2-4d12-ae52-920f5f7428f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a>, <a href="kavval://tags/adb74dc5-29c3-4ea1-b3b4-06871d93f6a6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lake</a> and hilly paths 👍🏼. You'll never be bored! So, ready to <s>ride</s> run? Your journey begins with discovering the historic <a href="kavval://tags/history" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">city</a> of Biarritz with a start and finish at the Stadium <s>Christina</s> Aguilera 🏟️. The various races let you explore the city's <a href="kavval://tags/history" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">landmarks</a> as well as charming neighboring villages that highlight the typical beauty of the region. Prepare to run along the <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seaside</a> 🌊, with the wind in your hair 💨, and also brace for some climbs. Nothing too daunting... But you know the famous saying about breathtaking scenery? They are worth the effort! 😉 You might even have the chance, weather permitting, to admire the Pyrenees mountain range ⛰️. As mentioned, the sea may be a bit choppy: with 480 m of elevation gain for the Marathon and 320 m of elevation gain for the Half Marathon of Biarritz, make sure to lace up your shoes well and get ready to face the challenges 💪.Once your feet are tired, why not try out some water sports? Perhaps even surfing? 🤔 We know, how original 😌. After your surf session, you can explore the city of Biarritz, which is packed with spots to discover like the Biarritz Aquarium 🐠, the Historical Museum, the Asian Art Museum, and the Chocolate Museum 🍫. Speaking of chocolate, if you're like us and love trying regional culinary specialties, you're in for a treat! 🍽️ For those seeking new challenges, try the famous Espelette Pepper 🌶️ without tearing up 🥲. More seriously, for a proper meal, we recommend tasting the Bayonne ham 🥩 or the well-known Basque chicken 🍗. As for cheese, indulge in Ossau-Iraty 🧀, paired with an Irouléguy (local vineyard wine), to be enjoyed in moderation 🍷. To end on a sweet note, we suggest the Basque cake, the star dessert of the region 🍰.
