Basque rural sports, known as ''Deportes Rurales'' in Spanish or ''Herri Kirolak'' in Basque, is the term used for a number of sports competitions rooted in the traditional lifestyles of the Basque people. The term ''force basque'' is used in French. Virtually all regional Basque rural sports have their origin in the two main historical occupations, the or ''baserritarra'' (farmer) and ''arrantzalea'' (fisher), with a larger percentage hailing from the rural background. The sociological changes in the Basque Country have led many of these becoming technically obsolete in the 19th and 20th century. Few continue to exist as rural or marine activities connected to everyday life and have become rare but many have managed to transform themselves into popular sports instead, some of which have become extremely popular. Winners receive a Basque beret (''boina'' or ''txapela'') as a trophy, hence the Basque word for "champion" - ''txapeldun'', literally "one who has a beret". Betting, both by the competitors and the audience, is very common and popular at such sporting events in the north of Spain. ==The H18K rural sports== In 2006 the Basque Government identified 18 particular rural sports, called ''H18K'', in its Strategic Plan for promotion.
