Kantoikrit Fixed Criterium 2026

The Kantoikrit Fixed Criterium is a cycling event held in Oñati, described as a 'white night' version of cycling. It features an urban circuit with barriers, creating an open-air theater atmosphere. The Basque Country environment actively supports participants with music, cheers, smoke flares, and cowbells, making it feel like a personal audience. The event begins with timed qualification laps, followed by finals where participants complete multiple laps for a total distance of approximately 24 km, with increasing intensity. After the race, participants can explore local attractions such as the Universidad Sancti Spiritus, the Santuario de Arantzazu, or the natural landscapes of Gipuzkoa towards Urkiola Park. Oñati is also suitable for couples and families, offering a relaxed recovery plan with walks in the town center, hot chocolate on terraces, and photo opportunities in the streets as the town winds down.
