Vucko Trail 2019
22 June 2019
The Vučko trail race is a running race that takes place along paths in Bosnia and Herzegovina with 3 different courses:
Race start/duration: Babin Do, Bjelašnica
- Course 63 km: 8:00 h (16 hours -Time limits: 42. km: 11 hours from start and 52. km: 14 hours from start)
This is a trail that will take you to the side of Bjelasnica with ancient roads and even more ancient legends, the Rakitnica canyon and the knife-sharp ridge of mountain Visocica. And all that spiced with breathtaking landscapes and stecak tombstones popping up all around. It is irresistibly reminiscent of our ancestors who would do this trail for breakfast while chasing sheep across mountain slopes. - Course 37 km: 10:00 h (9 hours)
Ideal trail for those who want to take a shot at a somewhat more moderate mileage, but still desire to feel the thrill, adventure, exertion and beautiful sights. The village of Lukomir as one of the destinations as well as Studeni potok and the stone remains of the Dragon give special flavor to this trail and make you want to finish it as fast as you can. - Course 13 km: 12:00 h (5 hours)
A relaxed trail for everyone and anyone, without much elevation gain and with pleasant environment and route. The trail is suitable for running, but it also provides for a more classical hiking approach and enables participants to fully enjoy the nature in a relaxed circular route. For all those who would like to try but believe they can’t do it, but also for those who see such distances as competitive or just want to do a somewhat more demanding workout.
Race finish: Babin Do, Bjelašnica
