About ZELENA STAZA

ZELENA STAZA is the 14.0km trail race at Vučko Trail 2025 (Bjelašnica, Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina). The race starts on June 13, 2025.

Race strategy

Run the climb at race pace, build your speed on the downhill, and go all out at the finish.

  • Start easy and control your HR up to Veliki Hrakač.
  • Final 606m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 2.0km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.3km–2.0km · Plus 1 more climb. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 2.0km–13.5km · Descent of 606m averaging 5%, high point 1618m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Very long descent: first half under control, then even, let go only near the end.
