Hrvatska Sahara trail

We are honored to once again host the 'Prins' Canicross Trail League.

After four successful years, the trail race “Croatian Sahara Trail” will be held for the fifth time in the heart of Podravina in the City of Đurđevac, and for the third time as part of the Kontinentrail League - the Trail League of Central Croatia. From the Old Town fortress, the route begins along the wooden walkway into the “Borik” park-forest, a century-old pine and acacia forest with a network of trails and a well-maintained trim track. The forest emerged through afforestation and stabilization of the “Bloody Sands” at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, sand in Borik is primarily integrated into the forest composition, creating a peaceful natural oasis for the city, characterized by undulating terrain and dunes, making “Borik” ideal for recreation. The trail's surface consists of packed and maintained forest paths and trails, offering relatively flat terrain with some gentle undulations. The 26.3 km trail also includes the geographical-botanical reserve “Đurđevac Sands,” where runners can experience visible formations of sand dunes.
