On February 5th, BK Metković is organizing a recreational cross-country marathon (XCM). This is part of the 8th round of the Recreational Winter League Dalmatia.

The race starts at 12:00 in front of the Archaeological Museum "Narona" in Vid. You will ride 2 km on asphalt road to the village Prud, where you will turn left on the wide unpaved climb to Dragovija. On the 9th kilometer you will turn left on single track that runs to the 10th km. As with every single track, this requires skill, so be careful here. With the single track you will turn right on a wide gravel road that goes to 13.2 km, where you turn right on the downhill which is combined with both land and stones. Here it will be cleaned and inspected, and as at the beginning of the race, there will be refreshment stations. The downhill ends at 14.3 km after which the trail goes on a wide gravel road with gentle gradients to 18.8 km where you will turn left at the combined concrete gravel climb. For the category U-16 and women, after 100 meters you will turn right on the wide gravel road which is connected to the asphalt section that leads to the finish line, while others will continue to rise to 22.5 km, where you will turn right on singletrack which will end at 25 km. As half of the singletrack has a slight rise, and the second part is downhill, you should be cautious, especially in the last 150 meters where the slope rides 25%. The “Trail of Death” way goes to the right 2 km with a combination of wide dirt roads with a slight descent and asphalt where it passes by the monument "Archers of Domagoj" before you come to the finish line at the Archaeological Museum "Narona". The trail will be marked and volunteers will be deployed along the trail who will also direct competitors and draw attention to the dangerous parts. 

The start of the children's race is at the monument to "The Archers of Domagoj" (outside the church), and the track is a combination of a wide road, and wide gravel road, a distance of 2.7 km.

The length of the road for the men's race is 27 km, the length of the road for the women's race is 21 km, and the length for the children's trail is 2.7 km.
