Gorbeia suzien 2026

ZEANURI, SPAIN, 26 Sep 2026

This course starts in Zeanuri and climbs quickly through the Gorbeia Natural Park via the Chapel of San Justo before heading over Zanburu toward the rocky summit of Lekanda. It then crosses the Arraba meadows, drops to Zastegi, climbs Gorbea, descends toward Azero, and tackles Aldamin before the final descent back to town. The organisers present it as a demanding mountain race for experienced runners, with steep terrain, exposed high points, and a route that has become a well-known fixture in Basque skyrunning.
