Donostia-San Sebastian.  Korrika 19 will cover the Basque Country from one end to the other between March 19-29, starting in Urepel and concluding in Bilbao under the motto, “Euskahaldun.”  For another year, the Diaspora will also join in the event in favor of the Basque language and adult literacy, in support of AEK euskaltegis.  Little by little details from various events being organized by Basque clubs are coming to us, and as always, we will follow each closely.
