About Blue Race

Blue Race is the 15.0km trail race at Bobija Trail 2026 (Bobija, Serbia). The race starts on August 16, 2026 at 11:00 AM.

Race strategy

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

  • 462m descent. Go easy, save your quads.
  • Steep 39% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Go easy on the first downhill, save your quads on the descents until 7.2km, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–1.8km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 1.8km–7.2km · Descent of 462m averaging 6%. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them.
  • Home · 7.2km–14.6km · Climb of 547m, high point 1262m. 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.
