About Blue Race

Blue Race is the 17.0km trail race at Divča Trail 2025 (Divčibare, Serbia). The race starts on September 27, 2025.

Race strategy

Run the downhill at race pace, but focus on the climb.

  • Start easy and control your HR up to 8.3km.
  • Hold your race pace up to 9.7km, but stay in control.
  • Steep 31% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Ease into the early runnable section, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.0km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.0km–8.3km · Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
  • Work · 8.3km–9.7km · Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort.
  • Home · 9.7km–17.4km · Climb of 527m, high point 1054m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.

Course

Summits

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 0.9km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 13 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.
