Much more than a race
GUARDIANS
of GORBEA
The mountain is not just a competition ground — it’s home, a symbol of who we are. We protect Gorbea so it remains untouched, both before and after the race, and we support the local shepherds, whose flocks help maintain the natural balance of this land throughout the year.
A reflection of this commitment is the Green CXM Trail seal awarded by FEDME – EUROPARC. This recognition certifies our environmentally responsible practices in the organization of mountain races, ensuring the highest respect and care for nature.
At Gorbeia Suzien, we don’t just run
We care for, respect, and celebrate the mountain
GS team
the organization
We are a great sports club passionate about the mountain. A village that opens its doors — and its heart — to welcome runners and visitors with the kindness and helpful spirit that defines us. That’s what makes this race possible.
Even as spectators, we are more than just onlookers — we are part of the race. Our cheers echo through every trail, every climb, pushing the runners all the way to the finish line.
But beyond the competition, we support the local economy, drawing fans, teams, and runners who discover the gastronomy, the culture, and the stunning natural beauty of the Arratia valley. Because Gorbeia Suzien is about sharing, enjoying, and feeling the heartbeat of a community that makes this race truly extraordinary.
