Trail Routes

Trail running involves running in natural terrains, and we know a lot about that in Balmaseda because we are surrounded by nature. Do not miss out on our most interesting routes and always be careful.
These routes, in their popular version, are carried out in the KolitzaBalmatrail, that takes place annually in the month of October and are organized by the Eutsi Balmatrail Sports Association in collaboration with the Balmaseda City Council.
