Teams consisted of up to eight riders, and 143 riders started the event. The event takes place less than a week after the conclusion of the 2009 Tour de France, and many of the riders who took part in that event, were scheduled for this race, including all but three of the top fifteen finishers,{{Cite web |url=http://clasica-san-sebastian.diariovasco.com/2009/participantes/index.html |title=Expected riders |access-date=2009-07-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090725121517/http://clasica-san-sebastian.diariovasco.com/2009/participantes/index.html |archive-date=2009-07-25 |url-status=dead }} although a number of the higher profile riders withdrew in the last few days before the event, including the suspended local rider, Mikel Astarloza.

Route

The route is an anticlockwise loop, heading southwest from San Sebastián, reaching its highest point, and its farthest from the city at the Alto de Udana (574 m). It then heads back towards the southern suburbs of the start town, before heading east through the Jaizkibel mountains to Hondarribia on the French border, and then back to San Sebastián.{{Cite web |url=http://www.uciprotour.com/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTU2MDk&ObjTypeCode=IMG&type=IMG&id=NDg3NjU&LangId=1 |title=UCI map of the course |access-date=2009-07-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807164820/http://www.uciprotour.com/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTU2MDk&ObjTypeCode=IMG&type=IMG&id=NDg3NjU&LangId=1 |archive-date=2011-08-07 |url-status=dead }}
