The main race covers 33km with 1,750m+ of elevation gain, starting and finishing at Foru Plaza in Orduña. From the old town, the route heads towards Tertanga, crossing rivers and passing under the emblematic Pico del Fraile, a huge boulder shaped like a friar.
After the climb, we ascend to Mount Txolope (1,026m) with panoramic views of the valley and the Virgin of Txarlazo. We descend along the ancient road that connected Castilla with Bizkaia, passing by the Gualdetxu spring, to the Txoza recreational area, which marks the halfway point.
The second half takes us through the spectacular Bedarbide climb between rivers and waterfalls, traversing the heights of Sierra Salvada to La Ponata and the famous Senda Negra, with its impressive cliffs and stone walls.
The final section descends through a beech forest to Lendoño de Arriba before returning to Orduña through the Valley of the Kites, with panoramic views over the entire mountain range. A route you won't forget.

Eskerrik asko. Se ha notado el mimo con el que la organizáis. Da gusto coronar uno de esos repechos infernales y tener gente tan animada dándolo todo. El toque de la alboka brutal. Lo dicho, entorno espectacular y organización de 10. Seguro que el año que viene repito.
