The start and finish are located in the village of Rasti\u0161te, at the PK Tara Mountain Hut. From Sedaljka <\/strong>(445 m), the village center, the trail leads through the hamlets of Kozla and Orlov Vis to the Dujin Breg<\/strong> viewpoint (CP 1 & Aid Station). From there, the route passes Bo\u017eurna and the Bilje\u0161ka Stena viewpoint, reaching Smiljevac <\/strong>(1,445 m) \u2013 the highest point of the race. This segment features a brutal 1,130 m of vertical gain over just 9 km. <\/p>\n

The first long descent follows, including a short gravel section to Galine <\/strong>(CP 2, Aid Station, and Cut-off 1: 12 km \/ 3 h). After the aid station, the descent continues for 1.5 km before the next climb begins, leading runners onto the rugged Galinik <\/strong>Ridge, the most technically demanding section of the race. <\/p>\n

After descending from Galinik <\/strong>(1,305 m), the trail returns to the Galina Aid Station. From here, a technically easier section leads to Velika Stena<\/strong> (1,140 m), followed by a 5 km descent back to the Mountain Hut in Sedaljka<\/strong> (Aid Station, CP, and Cut-off 2: 24 km \/ 6 h). <\/p>\n

Here is the beginning of the “second loop,” heading to the opposite side of the mountain with a new, long climb (10 km with 1,050m D+) via Topovi, Aluga, Tre\u0161njevac, and Pasja\u010da, up to the Alu\u0161ka Planina ridge. The highest peak in this section is Detelin <\/strong>(1,326 m), followed by a descent to the \u010cemeri\u0161ta <\/strong>CP and Aid Station. <\/p>\n

The descent continues toward Kamenja\u010da, followed by a new climb toward Kremi\u0107i <\/strong>(Aid Station, CP, and Cut-off 3: 39 km \/ 10 h). The final ascent to Crni Vrh<\/strong> (1,251 m) is perhaps the “steepest” on the course, leading into a long and technical final descent toward the finish line in Rasti\u0161te. <\/p>\n

The overall time limit is 12 hours. Runners who do not finish within the time limit will not be classified and will not receive a finisher medal.<\/p>\n<\/div>
