The San Sebastián Rural Kutxa Half Marathon has opened registration for its 2027 edition, which will take place on October 3. Following the success of the 2026 edition, when all 5,000 race entries sold out several months before race day, registrations for 2027 are now officially open.

Anyone wishing to take part in the 2027 San Sebastián Rural Kutxa Half Marathon can now register for the 21.097-kilometre race. The course will be officially certified, meaning that finishing times will be valid as official records.

Those who register during the first few hours can take advantage of the special launch price. Registration is limited to 5,000 runners.

Once again, we remind you that demand was exceptionally high in 2026, with all race entries selling out several months before the event. Don't miss your chance to secure your place in the 2027 edition.

Hyundai Oarso Car and the San Sebastián Rural Kutxa Half Marathon are joining forces, and for at least the next three editions of the race, the Gipuzkoa-based dealership will provide the official car and guide the elite athletes from start to finish along the 21.097 kilometers.

Together, we will travel to the finish line on the Boulevard in San Sebastián on October 4th for what promises to be a unique day. This strategic agreement will also include a bib number draw before each race. Hyundai Oarso Car will also have a presence at the bib number collection area and will be prominently featured on the official half marathon t-shirt.

Hyundai Oarso Car is part of the Easo Motor Group, a family business that began its journey in the automotive world in 1979 with a dealership in Gipuzkoa. Today, they represent fourteen brands in Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia, including Hyundai.

You love running, right? And do you know how important it is to take care of the way you run and how your feet strike the ground? Thanks to the partnership between LUR and the San Sebastián Rural Kutxa Half Marathon, we’re helping you take better care of your feet and your running stride. We invite you to have your biomechanics analysed, whether you’re the kind of runner looking to improve your personal best or someone who runs regularly and wants to prevent injuries.

Thanks to this collaboration, by showing your San Sebastián Half Marathon race bib, you’ll receive 20% off the LUR Method.

At LUR, they use their own method — Read, Connect and Reveal your running stride — supported by 3D motion-capture technology that records details that cannot be detected with the naked eye.

The centre is located in Donostia, at 4 Vitoria-Gasteiz Street. This year, almost one hundred Half Marathon runners will also collect their race bibs there.
