The Kvarner islands of Krk, Rab, Cres and Lošinj will host a unique (and hilly) MTB race this April: Mitas 4 Islands MTB Stage Race. 

The route for the upcoming 4 Islands race passes close to the sea, climbs the peaks which offer breathtaking views, and passes through places over a thousand years old. So why not meet the route this weekend and enjoy it before the big race this April?

For this reason, from March 25 and 26 you can join in on the first two legs of the Mitas 4 Islands race. A good way to prepare for the big race, participants will be able to spend a weekend in Krk and Rab and enjoy an incredible MTB adventure with a proven team and licensed guides - can you resist the temptation of the island challenges?

Saturday, March 25

Gathering at the parking lot in front of Decathlon (Škurinje). Departure 7:00 in the direction of Krk. You will arrive in Punat where the route will go to Vrbnik with numerous stone walls, olive groves and views of the Punat bay.

After another challenging ascent the tour will conclude in the best possible way - descending on Premužić track with the most beautiful view towards Lopar.
