The race takes place on 10 May 2026, when the conditions in Bibione are ideal. It's not yet sweltering hot, but at the same time there is already pleasant spring weather that invites to exercise outdoors. The start and finish are in Piazzale Zenith, in the heart of the resort, just a few steps from the sea.
What makes the Bibione Half Marathon special is its route. It runs along the coastline, where runners are accompanied by the sound of the waves and the salty air. The course then turns into the quieter parts of the resort and into the green of the typical Mediterranean pine groves. One of the best moments is the section around the local lighthouse. The whole course is also flat, making it an ideal choice for beginners and those who want to push their personal best.
More than just a half marathon
But the Bibione Half Marathon is not just about the half marathon itself. The whole weekend in Bibione is marked by sport. A complete running festival awaits you. You can look forward to:
- Kids Run - a short race for children (0.5 km)
- La Diecimila del Faro (10 km) - a shorter race suitable for hobby runners
- Accompanying programme, expo zone and evening atmosphere
This makes the event enjoyable for families or escorts.
An atmosphere that will engulf you
The atmosphere of the race is also a big advantage. It is not an anonymous mass event where one gets lost in the crowd. On the contrary, it retains a friendly character. There are spectators along the course, and the organisation works reliably.
The place itself is a big bonus. Bibione is one of the most popular destinations on the Adriatic, so it's no problem to combine the race with a short holiday. After the race, you can relax on the wide sandy beach, take a bike ride on the local trails or even relax in the thermal baths. And, of course, you can't miss the Italian cuisine, which tastes even better after a sporting performance.
Entry fee and registration
The entry fee ranges from approximately €20 to €32 depending on the registration date.
Registration is online and capacity is limited (approx. 1,500 runners), so it pays to register early. You can register on the Bibione Half Marathon website.
The Bibione Half Marathon is exactly the type of race that is not just about kilometres and time. It's about the experience, the atmosphere and the place you want to come back to. Whether you're running for the first time or collecting another medal for your collection, you'll simply enjoy the run here.
