Basque and Irish runners to run a mini-Korrika in Dublin on Saturday 4th April Irish and Basque runners will stage a mini-Korrika in Dublin on Saturday 4th April and hold a fund-raising event after at the Cobblestone in order to raise funds for the promotion of the Basque language in the Basque Country. The Korrika runs every two years in the Basque Country, attracting around 600,000 participants. The current Korrika is being held currently, to cover 2,500 kilometres and last 11 days, non-stop, with runners running even through the night. Most people who visit the Basque country, especially the southern provinces, are impressed by the advances being made by the Basque language, Euskara, not only in the schooling system, where the majority of children in three of the four southern provinces are now receiving their education through the medium of the language but also in its daily use -- particularly among the Basque use. Unfavourable comparisons with the progress of the Irish language are inevitable, despite Éamonn Ó Cuív's recent statement that Irish is not in danger as it is the official language of the Irish state. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The Korrika is being run in the Basque Country right now and Basques and Irish people plan to run a mini-korrika in Dublin this Saturday.
Section of the 15th Korrika running through the night (note woman in front carrying the baton -- see story above)
Place has been closed for over a year!
Indeed, as "Observer" notes, Conways' is no longer open (sadly missed). I contacted the organisers and they have now changed the pre-meeting at 6pm to the bar on first floor, Teachers' Club, Parnell Square. They apologise for incorrect information given.
I'm a Basque person, living in Ireland and just read this article. Its a pitty I didn't see it before the event. Have you got any post Korrika info? Will it be organized again? Have you any idea if there is any Euskal Etxea in Ireland? Thanks.
