On Saturday, September 23, 2017, a recreational MTB marathon will be held in Vela Luka!

Organized by BK Timun and the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, the start of the race will take place from the waterfront in Vela Luka.

The first 3 km of the race, participants will drive on the main asphalt road to Blato with a vehicle under rotation, then turn left uphill to the macadam road. After 500m, cyclists will enter singletrack.

After leaving the singletrack, there will be a combination of asphalt roads and macadam for 7 km until a very steep asphalt slope of 650 m in length will be approached (caution!).

After the downhill, cyclists will turn left and the next 10 km will be on a combination of macadam and asphalt roads through the coves on the north side of the island of Korcula. There is no major traffic on this road, and the road will not be closed for traffic.

At 18 km, there will be a short climb towards Vela Luka. At 21 km, cyclists will turn left downhill where they will be met with a combination of asphalt and macadam through the coves (caution is needed for local traffic).

At 29 km, cyclists will enter Vela Luka on the main road where the traffic will be regulated by the police. Cyclists should pay particular attention to the sharp right bend located 300 m before the goal! The goal is at the starting point on the waterfront. 

The race will begin at 16:30.
