Event Description
The race will last two days and will take place as part of the Ljubljana MTB Vikend festival. Saturday’s portion will be held entirely at the Ljubljana Bike Park in Podutik, while Sunday’s portion will take place on the Golovec trails. The competition will consist of a total of five special stages ridden in pairs—two stages on Saturday and three on Sunday.
The stages will take place on purpose-built mountain bike trails, while transfers will be along forest trails, paths, gravel roads, and, in part, on public roads, where traffic regulations must be observed.
- Saturday: Each rider must complete a minimum of approximately 200 meters of elevation gain.
- Sunday: Each rider must complete a minimum of approximately 350 meters of elevation gain.
- In total, each rider must complete a minimum of approximately 550 meters of elevation gain over both days.

- The final result for the pair is the sum of the best times of both competitors across all five stages.
