About Трескавец Треил

Трескавец Треил is the 23.0km trail race at Krali Marko Trails 2025 (Varoš (Prilep), North Macedonia). The race starts on March 2, 2025.

Race strategy

Hold a steady pace and save energy for every section.

  • Start easy and control your HR up to 6.6km.
  • 333m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • Hold your race pace up to 17.5km, but stay in control.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the way down from it until 8.7km, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.6km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.6km–6.6km · Climb of 541m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Work · 6.6km–17.5km · Descent of 333m averaging 16%, climb of 526m, high point 1258m. Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them.
  • Home · 17.5km–22.7km · Climb of 172m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.

Course

The course climbs 1400m+. With 61m/km of climbing, this is a true mountain course with sustained climbs and descents. By gradient, 40% of the distance is uphill, 42% downhill and 18% flat. The longest climb runs 6.6km at an average 8.2% grade (541m of vertical). The longest descent runs 4.3km at an average 12.1% grade (515m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 29.3% over 0.4km. The steepest descent drops at 26.6% over 0.2km. Surface: 67% trail and 11% road. Flat-equivalent effort: 36.1 FlatKM.

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 2.2km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 19 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, save your quads on the way down from it until 8.7km, then run your race pace.
  • #1 · 6.6–8.7 km · 333 m D−, -15.8% · 14.0 km ahead → control
  • 13.2–17.5 km · 515 m D−, -12.1% · 5.2 km ahead → your pace
