The series

Hernani's town race, on the eve of the San Juan festivities: ten kilometres between Hernani and Astigarraga, with half the town running and the other half cheering from the street.

Azeri Bila is the town race organised by the athletics section of C.D. Hernani, with the support of the councils of Hernani and Astigarraga. Its 24th edition took place on 20 June 2026: ten almost flat kilometres between the two towns, starting and finishing in Plaza Berri.

It was a commissioned job, and I wanted to tell the whole race, not just the winner: the nerves at the start, the fox dancing in front of the runners, the moment the field strings out along the streets, the applause of the crowd and the hugs at the finish. With the drone I also looked down on it, to see the drawing of the route.
