Bizkaia Kopa Trail / BKT 2026 / Arrieta

The sixth edition of the Bizkaia Kopa Trail series features its latest installment, an exhilarating mountain race spread across six stages throughout the year. This popular trail running league offers both competitive and non-competitive options to cater to runners of all levels.

The Trail 10K and Trail 20K courses are designed to test endurance against varied terrains, with steep climbs and scenic descents providing a thrilling experience for trail runners.
Additionally, the Txakurkros event adds an element of excitement by incorporating elements specific to Basque culture into its course design. This unique race is not only physically demanding but also offers cultural immersion through themed checkpoints along the route.
