No trail runner plodding through the mud in these northen valleys will ever feel alone. The atmosphere at the toughest spots at the Zegama Alpine Marathon might make even the Tour de France pale by comparison. Its a tradition and a shared passion that local groups like these 40 mugalaris from Irun keep growing and growing.
