Event Description
The competition will take place on eight special stages for the long course, six for U17, four for U15/4fun, and three for U13. The e-bike category, which competes on the long course, has an additional stage – the “Power Stage.” The long course is 22 km long, with a total elevation gain of approximately 1000 meters.
The total elevation gain will be approximately:
– 1000 m for the long course
– 700 m for U17
– 450 m for U15/4fun
– 350 m for U13
The special stages will run along a combination of new and existing trails on Golovec. Each stage will be ridden once during the competition. The stages run through the forest, mainly on wooded terrain with some sections of roots and partly on built structures. The stages are partly technical, partly fast, and detours will be provided on the more difficult sections. Transfers will take place on forest trails, logging roads, meadows, gravel roads, and partly on public roads, where road traffic code must be followed.
