About Red Race

Red Race is the 27.0km trail race at Povlen Trail 2025 (Mravinjci, Serbia). The race starts on October 19, 2025.

Race strategy

Run easy on the first mountain, then go all out on the second.

  • Start easy and control your HR up to Srednji Povlen.
  • Hold your race pace up to Mali Povlen, but stay in control.
  • All downhill to the finish: go all out!
  • Ease into the early runnable section, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 21.5km.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.3km–15.1km · 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. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
  • Work · 15.1km–21.5km · Climb of 299m, high point 1334m. Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 21.5km–26.4km · Descent of 391m averaging 8%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Long descent: keep it even and let go only near the end.
