Betagarri Trail: the essence of Sierra de Lokiz
Betagarri Trail is a mountain race in the Sierra de Lokiz (Navarra, Spain), starting and finishing at the municipal fronton in Ancín (Antzin). Organized by Club Deportivo Ancín Freeland, its 6th edition has established it as one of the must-do events on the Navarrese trail calendar and the final race of the Nafarroako Kopa.
The event offers three distances for all levels: the Trail 24K (1,050 m elevation gain), Ikatz 15K (660 m), and Txiki 8.5K (280 m). Over 85% of the course runs on natural trails, making this a genuine mountain experience.
The courses: Sierra de Lokiz
Sierra de Lokiz is a karst massif in western Navarra, between the Améscoa and Lana valleys. The courses cross oak forests, highland meadows, water-carved canyons, and ridges with panoramic views over Tierra Estella.
The Trail 24K is the long, technical course designed for runners experienced in mountain races with significant elevation gain. The Ikatz 15K offers an intermediate challenge, and the Txiki 8.5K is the accessible option for those new to trail running.
Key course highlights:
