Ultra trail Stara planina 2024

Omiljena distanca i staza nebeskih trkača doživljava malu promenu. Ko hoće da uradi svoju prvu ultru ili jednostavno da uživa u Staroj, nema bolje staze. Ova distanca je duplo lakša od skajrejsa, ali nije za podcenjivanje. Nama je uređaj izračunao 3.150 m uspona, ITRA sajt je smanjio. Staza je skoro 80% ista kao stara na 57 km, samo je produžena i drugačiji je pravac kretanja. Put vas vodi ski-stazom preko vrha Babin zub i u startu vas čekaju 2,5 km uspona. Spust takođe ide ski-stazom pored restorana Plaža, tu više nije kontrola pri prvom prolazu. Možete koristiti vodu, nema točenja. Nakon toga se uključujete na makadamsku stazu koja vodi nadole ka Toplom Dolu gde je KT-1, do tog sela imate 14 km (okrepa, overa). Nakon toga krećete ka Beleđu gde se od sad nalazi samo „živa raskrsnica” i spuštate se u Belčin dol gde je sad glavna „životna baza” u planini. To je KT-2 na 33. km, tako da se spremite za dugu deonicu. Na toj kontroli je limit 8 č. od starta. Tu imate drop-beg, masažu, toplu hranu. Odatle krećete uzbrdo na Međa planinu i izbijate ispod prve čuke gde je „živa raskrnica” i idete levo ka Vražijoj glavi i produžavate grebenom i uskim kozijim stazama iznad 1.800 m.n.v. sve do impozantnog Midžora gde je KT-3 na 53. km. Okrepa je još 1,5 km dalje. Na tom putu na više mesta imate izvore i potoke sa pitkom vodom (između Vražije glave i Midžora). Nakon toga dobro poznatom i širokom stazom idete ka Plaži gde je KT-4 na 59. km. Na KT-4 imate vodu i hranu i nepunih 5 km do cilja – hotel Stara Planina / Jabučko ravnište. Limit je 15 č. od starta.

The favourite skyrunners’ distance and trail will go through a slight change. There is no better trail for those who want to go for their first ultra or simply enjoy the beauties of Stara planina. This distance is twice as easy as sky race but it is not to be underestimated. Our device has calculated 3.150 m of ascent, however the ITRA site has reduced it. The trail is almost 80% the same as the old one at 57 km, however this one is extended and has a different direction. The path leads you up the ski trail across the peak of Babin zub and at the very start you will have 2.5 km of ascent. The descent also follows the ski trail by the Plaža Restaurant. There is no control point here any more at the first pass. You can use water, but no refill. After that you will come to the macadam path leading downhill to the village of Topli Do where CP-1 will be set – a distance of some 14 km (refreshments, control point). After that you head to Beleđe where there is now only a “live crossroad” (point with volunteers directing you further) and descend to Belčin dol where the main “life base” in the mountain will be set. This is the CP-2 at the 33rd km, so get ready for the long section. At this control point the time limit is 8 hours from the start. There you will have a drop bag, massage and warm food. From there you go uphill to Međa planina after which you will come beneath the first peak where you will find “live crossroad”, turn left towards Vražija glava and continue along the ridge and narrow goat paths above 1.800 mamsl all the way to the impressive peak of Midžor where CP-3 will be set at the 53rd km. The refreshment is 1.5 km farther. There are several springs and streams with drinking water along this section (between Vražija glava and Midžor). After that you go along the well know and wide path towards Plaža Restaurant where CP-4 will be set at the 59th km. At CP-4 you will have water and food and less than 5 km to the finish gate – Stara Planina Hotel/ Jabučko ravnište. The time limit is 15 hours from the start. More info at ultrakleka.com
