The Juan Muguerza Cross in Elgoibar, the Zornotza Cross, the Donosti-Lasarte Cross, and the Amurrio Cross have decided to join forces and have unveiled the joint project at the Elgoibar Music School. The union of these four historic events under the common name “Euskadiko Krossak” aims to give cross-country running in the Basque Country a new projection.
COLLABORATION AS A STARTING POINT
According to the organizers, the decision stems from the elkarlana, of collaboration. “We have spent many years organizing each of our events, with a level more than decent and with the support of our municipalities. But we are clear that, together, we are stronger than apart. A close collaboration will also benefit each individual project,” they explain.
The four crosses are complementary within the annual calendar and, from now on, they will present themselves as a circuit to runners, fans and the media. This gives them greater visibility and, at the same time, highlights both the events and the work behind them—the organizing clubs.
The four crosses will continue to be held individually, each with its own identity, its organizing team and its tradition. But, from now on, they will operate under a common brand: Euskadiko Krossak.
The organizers have publicly expressed their gratitude to the sponsors. “There is no denying it: today it is not easy to secure the sponsorships that a sporting event needs. Therefore, every company and institution that commits to us is essential. We want to thank them publicly”.

The objective is clear: to gain strength together, to reinforce cross-country athletics in Euskadi and, ultimately, to solidify these deeply rooted events for the future.
