Hondarribia Bertako Igogailuak has secured its return to the Euskotren League after a dominant performance in the promotion play-off held this past weekend.

One year after relegation, the Hondarribia rowing team has achieved promotion. The crew proved to be the strongest in both Bermeo and Portugalete, earning their place in the top tier alongside Zarautz.
The first leg in Bermeo presented technical challenges due to sea conditions. The team clocked 5.55 at the turn and finished the course in 11.17.86, setting the pace for the rest of the competition.
The final stage took place at the Portugalete Estuary. Maintaining high intensity with over 50 strokes per minute, the team finished with a time of 10.53.00, successfully securing their promotion to the Euskotren League.
