ABOUT THE RACE

CATEGORY EXPLANATIONS

The Small Trail is perfect for hikers, walkers, amateurs and all of you who enjoy spending time or want to try hiking in the mountains, typical for this region. Whole trail is one-way and marked with race marks, therefore orientation is easy.

After a gunshot from a traditional gun, called „kubura“, this race starts inside the Kliss fortress, from where it continues through the town Klis. The route than follows easy downhill until Gornje Rupotine village. Afterwords, it continues as a long ascent to St. Jure peak, from where you have one of the most beautiful views of Split, the islands and the surrounding area. Probably that is why it's not unusual that the church of St. Jure, by which the peak got its' name, was built on the remains of a prehistoric fortress, on a rich archeological site. Next to the church, contestants will have refreshments (drinks and fruit) available. Than, route follows easy downhill to saddle Blaca, afterwhich it continues to impressive Bobanova greda rock wall, with beautiful views of Split, Klis and Solin. Passing that part, route easily ascends towards the Kozjak ridge, after which there is a short segment of „škrape“ – typical mountain terrain. At the end of that short demanding segment, the route arrives to a fortress reamins from the Illyrian time, whose south wall stands strong up until today. That is also the last control point, from where the route goes with an easy trail towards Klis and Klis Fortress. The route is 10 km long and has 500 m elevation gain. It takes around 3 to 4 hours of easy pace with resting along the way.

The Middle and the Big trail race are for the experienced contestants and amateurs. Route for the Middle trail passes along the mountain Kozjak, while the Big trail passes mountain Opor near Trogir as well. Both routes pass the most attractive parts of mountain Kozjak with different types of terrain exchanging, from techically demanding karst terrain, to terrain easy to run like mediterranean meadows and paths in forest of typical mediterranean trees like evergreen oak and strawberry tree. Trail on the ridge is demanding, one-way and is marked with hiking trail marks, race marks, as well as with arrows at crossings. Almost all parts of the route are accessible for quick reactions in case of an emergency. Middle trail is 25 km long and has 1200 elevation gance, while Big trail is 35 km long and has 1850 elevation gain.

Finnish line for all categories is inside the Klis Fortress, where a warm meal and cold drinks will be served, with music in this extraordinary ambient. Awards for Small trail race will be given at 14 h, while awards for Middle and Big trail race will be given half an hour after contestants for third places arrive at the finnish.
