To achieve this, the organizers will again implement several initiatives to create a fast race that accommodates participants aiming for personal bests as well as those with more recreational or tourism-focused goals. The time limit for completing the 42.195 kilometers is 5 hours. However, in 2023, 79% of participants finished the marathon in under 4 hours, the highest sub-4-hour finisher percentage in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/@fotorunners.es-MARATHON-DONOSTIA-202311057-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/@fotorunners.es-MARATHON-DONOSTIA-202311057-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/@fotorunners.es-MARATHON-DONOSTIA-202311057-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/@fotorunners.es-MARATHON-DONOSTIA-202311057-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/@fotorunners.es-MARATHON-DONOSTIA-202311057-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/@fotorunners.es-MARATHON-DONOSTIA-202311057-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Imagen2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Imagen2.jpg 602w, https:\/\/zurichmaratonsansebastian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Imagen2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Launch offer with bibs starting at \u20ac49 for the Marathon and \u20ac17 for the 10K<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>After the Tamborrada on San Sebasti\u00e1n Day, next Tuesday, the 22nd, registrations will open for both distances with a launch offer for the first bibs of each category.<\/strong>\u00a0The promotional price will be \u20ac49 for the marathon and \u20ac17 for the 10K.
