250 km and 4.500 meters of ascent in three days is certainly racing hard.
We are introducing “smart stops” because we believe that the time spent at feed zones shouldn’t be counted and winners should prove themselves on the course.
The race is the race, and there is need for time time to rehydrate, refuel, double-check everything on your bike, make a tactical plan for the next segment, clear your mind for a minute… and then race again.
Smart stops will be at some of the most attractive locations in Istria. Places that are easily accessible to supporters, a meeting place for competitors and their followers.

Join us for Historic first.
Istria MTB stage race is from 21st to 23rd September 2023.
