What’s a Korrika?(from  http://www.korrika.org/)

           Korrika is the Basque name of a countrywide race organised by AEK, an organisation 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 centres.


           The first Korrika took place in 1980 and the course ran from Oñati (Gipuzkoa) to Bilbao (Bizkaia). Since then, the race has become one of the Basque Country’s major events in terms of number of participants. Over the past 32 years 17 Korrikas have been held.
           This year the Korrika will begin on March 14th in Andoain and will last 11 days non-stop, covering 2000 km throughout the Basque Country. As in previous editions, hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and fitness levels will be taking part. A hollow baton is carried during the race and exchanges hands at each change of kilometre. Inside there is a message which will not be made public until the Korrika ends on March 24th in Baiona, when a well-known Basque personality will read it out loud
