Baztango Mendi Martxa

The Baztango Mendi Martxa is a mountain march held in Gaartzain, located in Navarra’s Baztan region of northern Spain. It commences early in the morning and provides two extended routes, measuring 28 km and 32 km. Both are conducted as non-competitive marches, not races focused on achieving specific placings. The event is put together by Baztango Mendi Goizaleak, a local mountain club. Its edition number indicates it has been a fixture on the area’s outdoor activity schedule for many years. The fundamental concept is straightforward: participants depart from Gaartzain for an extensive day crossing mountain paths, selecting either the shorter or longer route without the emphasis of a competitive structure.
