13th Mostar Challenge

The race starts from the very center of Mostar, specifically in front of Mepas Mall, which is located at 80 meters above sea level. The initial part of the race, covering a distance of 1,500 meters, passes through city streets where the mountainous section begins, and the trail named "Japanese Trail" leads us over Planinica. This part of the trail has a continuous ascent, is exposed to the sun, and runs through the typical Herzegovinian karst, whose harshness is softened by the beautiful view of Mostar that accompanies you throughout the entire course. On Planinica, at a location known as the "Bunker" on the sixth kilometer, the first checkpoint and refreshment point will be located. Planinica, with its highest peak at 837 meters above sea level, will then take us further with a gentle descent towards the abandoned houses of the Seline hamlet, after which the trail gradually ascends, winding along the slopes of Crni Vrh, the highest point of Planinica, through the sparse woods of Herzegovinian vegetation. The trail then leads us to the village of Goranci at 670 meters above sea level, where the race ends for those who registered for the Hobby category. It also serves as the second checkpoint and refreshment point for those competing in the Challenge category, who continue the ascent towards the summit of Jastrebinka at 1138 meters above sea level, where the third checkpoint is located. Upon reaching the summit, participants return to Goranci via the trail, where the finish line is. Run individually on a trail that covers approximately 21 km with an elevation difference of 1450 meters above sea level.
