Trebević Challenge

Trebević Challenge takes place on the track from the Goat`s bridge (Kozja ćuprija) up to the top of Sofa, from June 18. to July 3. It is a 10 km long course with 1100 m of ascent.

It is open to all recreational and professional athletes, and it is a challenge which runs until 3 July, 2016 by which the organizers want to encourage more trainees to improve their fitness level for Jahorina Ultra Trail, track personal progress, enjoy nature and win valuable prizes.

Everyone who wishes to participate publicly in a competition called Trebević Challenge should record their training during the climb to the top, with any application or device that records the route, distance and time for which the activity is finished and take a photo/selfie on top of Sofa which will document their climb.

Data from training and a photo should be posted then on the Facebook page Trebević Challenge.

According to the rules, each competitor may set more records with their training session along the designated course. In this way, competitors prepare for mountain races and increase their chance to win a prize (GBT Banja Luka, a partnering sportswear company, will reward them with valuable commodity prizes while the hotel Pino on Trebević will award coupon for wellness treatment and lunch for two).

What makes Trebević Challenge a unique competition is that the winners of this challenge do not have to be the fastest runners. The winners will be female and male finishers who have recorded time closest to the current track record in the women's and men's category set by non-professional athletes.

The organizers will not disclose the track records until the end of the competition - Jahorina Ultra Trail, on 3 July 2016.
