Zegama-Aizkorri Mendi Maratoia (Basque Country, Spain) 2026
Also known as: ZEGAMA AIZKORRI MENDI MARATOIA
A mountain marathon from the small Basque town of Zegama, climbing via the Otzaurte pass over the Aratz massif and the Aizkorri range. Beech forest, steep rocky slopes and high pastures make for a technical, demanding course.
The course tops out at 1,528 m (low point 293 m). There are 3 big climbs: 490 m around 0–5 km; 719 m around 11–17 km; 576 m around 20–24 km. Only about 30% is gentle (under 5% grade); most of it is climbing or descending. The median finish was about 6 h.
