Absolute Biokovo Challenge 2024

Kažu da je to planina sa stopalima u moru, a čelom u munjama. Planina čije staze traže od trkača apsolutni maksimum, fizički i mentalni. Teren koji će izazvati najspremnije i najodvažnije. Jesi spreman za apsolutni izazov?

It is said that it's the mountain with roots in the sea and forehead in the clouds and lightnings. The mountain with trails that demand absolute maximum from runners, both phisycal and mental. The terrain that will challenge the fittest and the bravest. Are you ready for an absolute challenge?

About the Race

Utrka starta iz Makra, starog sela iznad Makarske i markiranom planinarskom stazom se penje do kuće na Vošcu na 1422 m nadmorske visine. Sa staze se cijelo vrijeme pruža pogled na Makarsku i srednje dalmatinske otoke. Dio staze prolazi kroz borovu šumu, a kako se diže visočije tako se pogled sve više otvara prema pučinskim otocima i obuhvaća veći dio dalmatinske obale. Brojnim serpentinama, dolazi se do prijevoja Škrabutina odakle se zadnjih 150 metara visinske razlike prolazi najstrmijim dijelom staze do planinarske kuće na Vošcu, gdje je cilj. Kad dođete do daha budite spremni opet izgubiti ga – ovaj put od pogleda, budući je Vošac jedan od najljepših i najpoznatijih vidikovaca na jadranskoj obali. Staza je namijenjena iskusnim i spremnim trkačima, ali i onima koji planiraju stazu proći u nešto sporijem i ležernijem ritmu budući je vremenski limit za završiti utrku 3 sata.

The race starts from Makar, an old village above Makarske. The trail follows marked mountain trail up the hill to the mountain hut Vošac (alt. 1422 m). The trail offers great views on Makarska and Dalmatian islands all the way to Vošac. Part of the trail goes through pine tree forest and as it goes higher it opens wide views on distant islands and on the most of Dalmatian coast. After many switchbacks trail leads to Štrbina pass from where is the steepest 150 meters until the finish line at Vošac hut. When you finaly catch your breath at finish be ready to lose it again, this time because of wonderful view. This course is for fit and experienced runners but also for those who are less competetive and want to enjoy slower pace and views. Time limit is 3 hours.
