Course Details
The race starts at the entrance of Balçova Therapy Forest. Most of the course’s 750 meters of elevation gain is concentrated in the first half of the race. This section requires controlled pacing and efficient breathing as runners tackle the main climbs early on.
In the second half, the course becomes more flowing with significantly reduced elevation gain. The route allows for a faster run toward the finish, rewarding those who managed their effort well during the climbs.
The 14K course is ideal for runners new to trail racing, those seeking a shorter distance with elevation challenge, or athletes preparing for longer trail events.
Nearly half of this fast-flowing course consists of singletrack trails.
Terrain distribution:
- 70% forest roads
- 30% forest singletrack
Dirt roads, forest ground, and leaf-covered sections define the natural character of the course. From start to finish, the route remains deep within dense forest terrain. No asphalt
