Collection Description
Organized by AEK (the adult Basque-language teaching organization), Korrika is a race for the Basque language that winds its way through the Basque Country. Its objective is twofold: on the one hand, to promote awareness of the need to speak Basque and, on the other, to raise funds that will enable the AEK Basque language schools to continue their teaching work. As they run, the participants carry a baton, which they pass from hand to hand, kilometer upon kilometer. Inside the baton is a message, which will not be revealed until the very end of the run, when it will be read out. In the spring of 2019, while the Korrika was happening in the Basque Country, the William A. Douglass Center for Basque Studies and the Jon Bilbao Basque Library of the University of Nevada, Reno held a small Korrika. Members of both institutions and friends got together and ran across Rancho San Rafael Park.
