As the director of the event, it is a great pleasure to welcome all who wish to participate in this trail running event. In the previous edition, 700 athletes from 30 different nationalities participated, which made us very happy and proud! It is for us, without a doubt, a huge honor to organize this event on the Istrian peninsula that, beyond it’s recognized touristic attributes, offers excellent conditions for practicing this sport. This year the race has become a part of Ultra Trail World Tour, the circuit consisting of the best and the biggest ultra-trail races worldwide. This is a big accomplishment and we will invest our best efforts in the organization of our race so that all of our competitors remain happy, satisfied and continue to participate in our races. The trail routes will lead you to the heart of the Istrian peninsula, through some pretty old medieval towns, you will feel like visiting Tuscany! By the way, the longest route will also take you to the smallest town in the world - Hum. The novelty this year is that we have included in our offer another trail, the shortest so far, 42 km long, catering to the needs of those who have just enrolled to the school of ultra-trail running. The starting point of this trail will be in the beautiful medieval town of Motovun, situated in Central Istria, a town that we so often like to call “Little Tuscany”. Besides the shortest course (42 km) we offer another three courses which start in Labin (100 miles), Lovran (110 km), Buzet (69 km) and finish on the western part of the peninsula, in Umag, which is located 30 minutes from the border with Slovenia and has a wide range of hotel accommodation nearby. But we have even more! A super cute 5K race un Umag and Ledo 1 Mile race for the kids :). We strongly believe that this event will have all the brilliance expected and be an extra motive to all who are here to stay a while longer or, perhaps, to return one day. While in Istria, don’t miss out on our exquisite local cuisine! It offers you a wide range of delicious food based on the Mediterranean cuisine, as well as top notch wines, and what is more, this year Istria has been ranked as the best olive-growing region in the world.
