Korrika is a non-stop relay race throughout all the Basque Country to support the Basque language, hundreds of thousands of runners and several cultural events and celebrations in the whole Basque country as the race takes place.
Korrika is organized by AEK, an organization which teaches Basque and Basque literacy to adults. The objective of the event is to enhance awareness of Basque and raise funds to carry out this work on a daily basis in AEK study centers.
The first race took place in 1980 from Oñati (Gipuzkoa) to Bilbao
(Bizkaia). Since then, there have been 16 Korrikas held over 24 years.
This year we celebrate the 17th edition of korrika . It is going to
start in Trebiño and it will finish on April 17th in Donostia-San
Sebastian. It will cover a distance of 2,500 km and pass through 400
towns in the Basque Country.
This year's slogan is "Maitatu, ikasi, ari... euskala-kari" (Love,
learn, use Basque, euskalakari!). AEK and Korrika have named the people who love, learn and use the Basque language
