The Zegama-Aizkorri Vertical Kilometre has been reduced due to weather conditions
The exit will be in Zegama Square from 16:00, which will not change, but the finish line will be in the Itzubiaga cabin; given this change, the race will have a journey of about five kilometers, and the positive level will be 760 meters.
The Zegama-Aizkorri Vertical Kilometre Safety Committee in 2026 has decided to modify and reduce the course of the test that will be played on Friday due to adverse weather conditions and the forecast of a worsening of the weather in the upper part.
In a statement, the organizers have explained that the heavy rains of the last few hours, the strong wind blowing at the top, the low visibility that exists and the sliding of the road have led to the decision to ensure the safety of all participants, volunteers and people working in the race.
Thus, there will be no change in the exit, which will take place in the square of Zegama, from 16:00, as an individual counterclockwork, but the destination will be in the cabin of Itzubiaga, where it was originally an intermediate point (where time control of the entire route was carried out).
In view of this change, the race will have a journey of about five kilometres and a positive level of 760 metres. The initial forecast was to climb over the Revolution (1,520 metres), and the positive level would be 1,015 metres.
