Sara Korrika Trail

Experience the raw power of the Pyrenees at the Sara Korrika Trail (SKT) 2026, a legendary mountain running event returning to the historic Basque village of Sare on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Renowned among trail purists as a "committed" and technical challenge, the SKT takes runners through some of the most iconic landscapes in the French Basque Country. Starting and finishing in the vibrant village square, the race is a true test of grit, winding around the limestone summits of Axuria and the towering peak of La Rhune. This isn't just a race; it’s an immersive journey into the authentic mountain spirit of the Labourd province.

The 2026 edition offers two distinct distances designed to push your limits. The flagship 22 km Main Race is a technical powerhouse featuring 1,600m of elevation gain, following rugged single-tracks and crossing portions of the famous Rhune rack railway route—a favorite for climbing specialists and technical descent experts. For those seeking a shorter but equally punchy challenge, the 11 km Short Trail provides roughly 600m of elevation gain, offering a gateway into the high-altitude terrain. With a capped field to preserve the integrity of the trails, every participant is guaranteed an intimate and high-octane experience alongside hundreds of local and international runners.

Registration for the Sara Korrika Trail is managed through PB Organisation, and early sign-ups are highly recommended as this event consistently reaches capacity. Participants can expect a professionally marked course, high-energy support at altitude, and a festive Basque celebration at the finish line. Whether you are chasing a podium spot or simply looking to conquer the technical slopes of the Pyrenees, the SKT 2026 is your destination for an unforgettable spring mountain adventure. Prepare your gear, study the official maps, and get ready to run the heights of Sare.
