The Zegama-Aizkorri suspended

The health situation has forced the test to be suspended

The XIX edition of lto Zegama-Aizkorri, whose celebration was scheduled for the weekend of June 6, is suspended: "In 2021 we will not be together, but Zegama continues."

Thus closes the organization of the mythical Basque marathon the official statement that can already be consulted in websites Of the test.

Following the indications and recommendations of the health authorities, as well as the Basque and Spanish governments, the organization has made the decision to suspend the three tests that are part of the 2021 edition due to the current global crisis caused by Covid-19.

“Trying to fill the gap from the previous year, we have worked with more enthusiasm and at the same time with more uncertainty than ever.

But again, this year, we could not guarantee everyone's safety ”, they explain from Zegama.

 Thus, the numbers of the draw and times for this year, as well as the waiting lists, will be saved for 2022. In 2022 there will be neither a pre-registration period nor a raffle for numbers.

"The Zegama-Aizkorri has 4 fundamental pillars: the runners, the elite, the public and the volunteers.

A race with only an elite would not be within our values, a Zegama without an audience would not have any charm, it would be a huge lack of respect for the draw runner who has had so much trouble getting the number if we did not maintain the four pillars.

Seeing the situation, it has not cost us too much to make the decision, in this moment of uncertainty, our choice has been to guarantee safety.

If for this, for another year, we have to stop celebrating the Zegama-Aizkorri as we have known it until now, we will not celebrate it.

We organize this great non-profit sports festival and the least that our people, volunteers and runners deserve is respect.”, They reflect.

After a very complicated year full of uncertainty, the organization will continue working to be able to offer the Zegama experience in a short period of time, with its four pillars and all its magic.

Because Zegama is Zegama and continues

There are no previous results.
