On Sunday, August 30, 2026, the Bahía de La Concha in Donostia-San Sebastián will host the Travesía A Nado Vuelta a la Isla 2026. This event promises to be an exhilarating day of open water swimming along one of Spain's most picturesque coastlines.
The festivities begin early with race packet distribution from 9:00 AM at the promenade adjacent to the club, providing participants ample time to prepare for their respective starts. Swimmers can also take advantage of a secure baggage storage service available between 9:30 AM and 11:45 AM on the same location.
For young swimmers aged up to 12 years old, the race kicks off at 10:00 AM with a fun and safe 600-meter swim within the calm waters of Bahía de La Concha. Adult participants will follow shortly after at 10:15 AM for their more challenging 3-kilometer course marked by purple arrows.
Participants can expect clear water visibility, although conditions may vary depending on weather patterns leading up to race day. The organizers have made it a priority to ensure swimmers' safety and reserve the right to modify routes should sea conditions demand adjustments.
The event concludes around midday with an award ceremony for all categories starting at 11:45 AM where trophies will be presented to top finishers in both male and female divisions across various age groups. This celebration of athletic achievement is a fitting end to a day filled with camaraderie, competition, and breathtaking views along the Basque Country's iconic coastline.
