Zegama-Aizkorri MARATHON & Ehunmilak
In Goierri there’s a natural mix between sports and nature. The region is known internationally for its competitions. The Zegama-Aizkorri marathon, qualifying for the World Cup -more than 12,000 registrations for the 225 bibs raffled-, the Ehunmillak Ultra-Trail -a 167 km two-days race that brings 500 national and international racers-; the Goierriko bi Haundiak -88 km, one day and 500 participants- and the mountain marathon Marimurumendi Maratoia, enclosed in the weekend of the two trail races.
According to experts, the Zegama-Aizkorri marathon is one of a kind, not just one of the most prestigious mountain races in the world but also unique. Mud and cold are are bread and butter of this race. Kilian Jornet won it almost as many times as Rafa Nadal won the Roland Garros: eleven times! In his own words: “Zegama is Zegama. Is just a race that I always carry in my heart.”
Zegama-Aizkorri is a very technical, highly challenging race. It is one of the most relevant trail-running races internationally and one of the 6 events in the Golden Trail World Series, the circuit with the best races around the world, where the best runners in the world meet up. It is also the main event of the 5 events that make the Golden Trail National Series.
Zegama-Aizkorri mountain marathon has been celebrated since 2002 in Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park with departure and arrival in Zegama, where all the people become the organization of their most important event. The atmosphere in Zegama and the Natural Park during that weekend is excellent.
The route is medium mountain route, and includes four of the highest peaks of the Basque Country (Aratz – Aizkorri – Aketegi) including Mount Aitxuri (1,551 meters), the highest peak of the Basque Country!
From the city of Zegama (296 m.) you reach the top of Otzaurte (652 m.) to run a trail that crosses mountain roads of great natural beauty. It spreads between herds, areas soaked in living rock and grasslands of height.
In the ultratrail discipline, Goierri has two events that are among the most important in the Spanish race calendar. Fans have awarded Ehunmilak as the best Ultra in Spain.
