So, what is Korrika and why should I participate?

Korrika is an event put on by AEK, a Basque organization to revive, promote, raise awareness, and raise funds for the Basque Language. It is an 11 day race that tours most of the Basque country, promoting Euskara. The theme of this year’s race is “Klik”, or making the decisions to participate in your local Euskara programs and actively try to use and grow the Euskara language.

Here in Boise, the Basque Museum has organized a much smaller, festive version of this event. All proceeds go towards local Euskara Language Programs. The aim is to raise awareness and funds for the Euskara language.
