Skyrhune - Ascain 2027

Skyrhune is a 21 km mountain trail race starting in Ascain, Basque Country, featuring 1,700 m of elevation gain on a compact, demanding course. Participants will ascend the slopes of La Rhune, focusing on steep climbs, rapid descents, and technical trail running over leisurely distances. The race attracts trail runners from all over France, with only 500 spots available via lottery for its upcoming edition. The atmosphere in Ascain is notable, with one runner describing it as a race with significant atmosphere, commending the organization, and expressing regret that it concluded after ten editions. A shorter option, Skyrhune Ttiki, offers a different route within the same locale for those seeking a less demanding 21 km course.
