Opis

Korrika is technically a colossal footrace run in relays of 1 kilometer. This scholarly work looks at the emergence of this race as a modern ritual for expressing Basque identity. The annual event consists of a "run" that draws thousands of people from all social spheres to participate in this event in which they carry a special baton called a testigo engraved in the Basque language in relays through all seven Basque territories."
