Vertikalno lice Platka

For those who still don't know what the Vertical Face of Platak actually is... The idea came from a few enthusiasts who wanted to find out who would climb to the top of Radeševo the fastest, i.e., conquer the 250-meter vertical. That's how the Vertical 5 was born – which, after reaching the summit, got its continuation to the bottom, i.e., the finish line. As every good idea has room for expansion, this one led to the creation of the Vertical 10, and then the 20 – trail races for all levels of physical fitness. The MTB race somehow came naturally, so we looked for the most optimal lengths and shapes, leading us to the XCO race. Every year we make some adjustments and new trails so that no one gets bored, so take a look below to see what awaits you this year. Our project is "dog-friendly," meaning that your four-legged friends can be with you in all activities (except the MTB XCO race for safety reasons). Why Attractive? Because in 22 km, there is so much diverse terrain, uphill sections, downhill stretches, flat areas to sprint through, beautiful grassy surfaces to rocky landscapes... but what makes it attractive is that few people usually walk, hike, run, or trek through these areas around Platak. We want to offer you a new experience with beautiful and changing landscapes and views. The trail will be interesting, challenging in some parts, suitable for everyone who is not exclusively in love with road running, although there is also enough gravel for sprinters :) The route has a variable rhythm and pace, with the only more challenging parts being two longer ascents and one rocky descent. TOTAL ASCENT: 950 m.

For those who ran last year's 17k, the quickest description of this route is that we removed the part with the ascent behind Malo domai accelerated the descent from Guslica. We would wholeheartedly advise you to try the new, longer route; you won't regret it. For those who haven't tried one of our variations of this route, we want to say that you will enjoy 15 km of moderate effort, along with beautiful views from the hill above Platak. TOTAL ASCENT: 700 m

Fast, short, dynamic 8k. Ideal for beginners, sprinters, and those who don't want to tire themselves out on Sundays :) Also, we accept the remark that this route is more cross-country than a real trail, a true pleasure for road runners who will replace asphalt with nature. TOTAL ASCENT: 280 m

Dear cycling enthusiasts! For the first time, we will repeat last year's route. This means that we are finally all satisfied with what has been done, and we have no need to change anything. It sounds almost (for us) unbelievable, so always be ready for some last-minute changes, but for now, everything is going as usual. The start and finish of the race will be in front of Veliki Dom Platak, as well as the award ceremony.
