The city of Terrassa will host the second edition of La Korrika this Saturday, March 7th, a festive run originating from the Basque Country to promote minority languages.

The event, brought to the city two years ago by the local Basque community, remains a biennial non-competitive run. The activity starts at 11:00 AM at Vapor Ventalló, covering a four-kilometer route through Terrassa's historic center.

"Rain or shine, we will run anyway, and we will do it with a non-competitive race."

Over twenty local organizations, including Òmnium Cultural and Plataforma per la Llengua, are supporting the initiative. The route features five thematic sections focusing on language rights, housing, feminism, folk culture, and children.
The day will conclude with political speeches, a traditional pintxo-pote appetizer, a community lunch, and live music performances to celebrate cultural diversity and linguistic heritage.
