Here’s the course for this year’s round three, the return of racing to Cilenca Trails in Zagorje ob Savi, Slovenia, on 24/25 May.

At this year’s second round of the series, the Hungarian-Slovak-Italian trio topped the podium in the men’s category with four juniors in top five, while in the women’s category, apparently only bad luck or a high visit from abroad could stop Nežka this year.

The second race of the season on six specials stages, in ideal conditions as it seems and again in good international company.
