The Korrika for the Basque language

We consider The Redadeg to be the little sister of the Korrika, and it is thanks to the support of this race’s organisers that the first Breton Redadeg was born. The Korrika has taken place in the Basque country (French and Spanish) for more than 30 years, hundreds of thousands of people participate every year to defend their language.
