Mendira Joan-Etorria 2026: Registration
The Mendira Joan-Etorria is a mountain race that climbs from the main square of Etxarri-Aranatz to the Urbasa mountain range through a dense forest of beech and oak trees, with the descent along the same route. In its 51st edition (2026), it's one of the oldest mountain races in Navarre, Spain: born in 1975 from a bet between friends, and an official trophy race of the Navarre mountain running series since 2014.
