Kantoikrit Fixed Criterium 2026

The Kantoikrit Fixed Criterium is Oñati in all-nighter mode, bike edition: an in-town circuit, barriers, and you at the heart of an open-air theater 🌙.

Here, the Basque Country doesn’t just watch you go by—it drives you on: music, shouts, smoke flares, and those famous cowbells that make you feel like you’ve got a crowd just for you 🔔.

You start with qualifying laps where every second counts, then it’s time for the finals: you string the loops together until you reach about 24 km, with intensity building every time you cross the line ⚡.

After the effort, stick around: swing by Universidad Sancti Spiritus for that postcard setting, stop at the Santuario de Arantzazu for a visual slap in the face, or go breathe in some greenery in Gipuzkoa toward the Urkiola landscapes if you’re extending your stay a bit 🌿.

And if you’re coming as a couple or with family, Oñati is perfect for a “recovery” plan: an easy stroll through the center, hot chocolate on a terrace, and a little photo walk through the lanes while the town eases back down ✨.
