The length of the trail is 16200 meters for all categories. The application and distribution of the numbers will take place in the center of Gornja Podstrana (Čitaonica), which will also be the goal of the race. The race will kick off promptly before noon. 

Track route: 300 meters after the start of the race there will be a wide macadam rise in the length of 200m with an average rise of 10%, followed by 2.5 km of gravel road with an average rise of about 2%. At 4 km entering into the first singletrack which initially has an easy climb along a dirt surface (first 500m), followed by stone downhill into two small technical details at the beginning of the descent. After a 300m descent you will come out to a wide macadam and asphalt road through the town of Jesenica. At 10 km from the wide path enters sharply left for a short climb of 70 m with an average rise of 12%, after climbing a 1km wide macadam with a few bumps. At 11 km you will enter the second single, keeping an eye on the entrance as it goes sharply to the right immediately, and is followed by a descent down stone rocks. After, the path again goes right for a 2.5km single track (soil for 90% singles, the other 10% country rock). At 14 km you will return to the same single purpose, with the last 500 meters on asphalt with a slight rise.
