Next weekend – 22.-24. May – it’s time for our 6th Alpe Adria Trail Cup virtual challenge, this time we’ll be virtually racing on Julian Alps Trail Run routes.😉

As the conditions do not allow us to hold a mass competition, we’ve put together a virtual competition for you, which you can do alone or with your running friends.

The true Virtual race, where we take the time at a certain distance and the completed minimum of certain vertical meters.

You can compete in 4 different categories:
FunnyTrail – 10 km and 280 v.m.
SpeedTrail – 15 km and 510 v.m.
SkyRace – 30 km, 1520 v.m.
SkyTrail – 65 km, 3420 v.m.

Runners choose the mentioned distance and minimum altitude difference in accordance with covid-19 guidelines ; everyone competing in the “athlete” category must post a Strava or equivalent link of their run, runners, doing the race for fun, post a link to their social profile where they posted the training.

Rules and guidelines:
1. The basic rule and your guiding principle should be honest when presenting your results.
2. You will have 2 options to participate in Challenge #6:
– Trail running for fun (non-racing mode) – run one of the four races and submit proof from social media at check-in.
– Competition – run one of the 4 routes and submit proof from social media (race mode) and enter your time.
3. A challenge is counted when you reach both parameters – distance and ascent.
4. For those who take part in the competition mode, it is advisable to plan the route well in advance to help you find a combination of the intended mileage and ascent (e.g. plan a 1520 m ascent for 30 km).
5. In case you already managed to run 30 km and you have not made enough ascent, continue until you reach 1520 v.m. The same is true in the opposite case – if you reach 1520 m of ascent before you reach 30 km.
6. It is also essential for everyone in the competition section to mark your activity as a race on Strava, because this is the only way to take your breaks into account.
7. It is desirable for the competition section that the start and finish are at approximately the same altitude (approximately equal ascent/descent).
8. Make sure you complete your registration form for both options after you complete the challenge.
9. Results will be announced on Monday after the challenge and you will receive diplomas for the challenges you have completed by e-mail.
10. Go outdoors and have fun on the trails in accordance with covid-19 rules of course :).
