Brdska trka Boroša

Boroša Mountain Race (formerly Sljeme) is the oldest mountain race in the country with a 35-year tradition! An exceptionally beautiful race, a true prototype of a mountain challenge, from the city center to the highest peak of the mountain it adjoins. Currently, there is no metropolis in Europe that has the possibility to create something similar nearby - a race from its central square to the thousand-meter peak, reachable within an hour of running along a beautifully landscaped trail, such as hiking trail number 14. Boroša – The Main Race runs from the city center to Sljeme! The course is 12 km long with an elevation gain of 900 m (starting at 130 m and finishing at 1,030 m). The average incline is 7.5%, making it a true test of endurance for hill runners.

The start is at 10:45 at the beginning of the Leustek trail (at the top of Lonjščina Street, 450 meters uphill after Špar). The length of the trail is 6.3 km, with an elevation gain of 730 m (starting at 300 m above sea level, finishing at 1030 m above sea level). The average gradient is 11.6%.

The final segment of the race, the ascent from the bottom to the top of the ski lift, is 350m long with an 80m elevation gain and an average incline of 23%. The top three male and female runners in this segment will be awarded separately, regardless of their main race results. In case of a tie, the better overall race time will determine the winner. No separate registration or entry fee is required. Only runners from the Boroša race starting at Ban Jelačić Square are eligible.
