(noticiasdegipuzkoa.eus) Organizers say the event kicks off at 10:00 a.m. and will gather roughly 100–120 participants in teams of two or three. (eibar.eus) The day opens with a short race and follows a circuit of six high‑intensity stations; each station will last about eight minutes. (eibar.eus) The municipal sports office and event promoters present the format as a cultural twist that pairs modern CrossFit movements with traditional herri kirolak. (eibar.eus) Organizers and local officials say the inaugural NorthFit Hybrid aims to attract both CrossFitters and athletes rooted in Basque rural sports. (noticiasdegipuzkoa.eus) Herri kirolak — Basque rural sports such as stone lifting (harri‑jasotzea), wood chopping (aizkolaritza) and tug‑of‑war — come from traditional farming and forestry tasks. (euskoguide.com) The town has billed the competition as a pioneer in hybrid sport programming for Eibar, staging strength and skill tests in a central plaza. (eibar.eus) Andoni Ameztoy, Eibar’s councilor for sports, called the event “an opportunity to project Eibar as a reference in the sport of the future without forgetting our roots.” (eibar.eus)
