"Race" to save Basque language

The race, or korrika, is a two-week long affair that endeavors to cover as much of Spain's Basque territory as possible. Racers stop only briefly along their course, and race even through the night. Money is raised for the promotion and continuation of the Basque language by selling each kilometre of the race to a particular individual or organization. This year's korrika focuses on women and the unique role they play in keeping the Basque language alive.
