The race starts at the foothill of Galichica mountain, in the center of Peshtani village, and follows a direct vertical line on Galichica’s western side. The race itself traces an unusual path, something that can rarely be seen on Galichica mountain. The vertical runs near Chumo Vlaga peak, at around 1.800 meters above sea level.

Peshtani Extreme Vertical races will have early and regular registration. The price of Vertical 5km for early registration is 20€, and for regular registration is 26€. In addition to registering for one of the races, runners can also register to run in both races, for which there is a discount. You can do that by registering for the Combined trail (Vertical 5km + Bajrache trail). The deadline for early registration is 30.04.2024, while the deadline for registrations for all races is 21.09.2024 (if the predicted number is not filled).

By paying the registration fee, each competitor receives a starting package. A refund of the paid registration fee is made only in case of cancellation of the race due to the fault of the organizer.

Awards

Awards will be awarded for the first 3 places, both in the women’s and in the men’s competition. First-place winners will be awarded with rich gifts (goods prizes) provided by our sponsors.

In addition, for the fastest men’s and women’s, we are awarding a weekend for 2 people in Ohrid.

Refreshment points

During the race you will have 1 refreshment station:

1. Vetro Gumno – Cross 3km – 700D+

The refreshment station will be stocked with everything a runner might need. Our advice is to always have enough food with you because the time needed to get from one station to another can be quite long, especially for slower runners. Refreshments will be available also at the finish after the race is over.
