About Red Race

Red Race is the 26.0km trail race at Bobija Trail 2026 (Bobija, Serbia). The race starts on August 16, 2026 at 11:00 AM.

Race strategy

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

  • 558m 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 5.7km, then run your race pace.
  • 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–16.0km · Descent of 558m averaging 10%. 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. This descent is hard on the legs: short steps, stay in control, poles if you have them. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
  • Work · 16.0km–18.9km · Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort.
  • Home · 18.9km–26.3km · Climb of 545m, 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.

Quad damage

  • Go easy on the first downhill, save your quads on the descents until 5.7km, then run your race pace.
  • #1 · 0.0–5.7 km · 558 m D−, -9.9% · 20.6 km ahead → control
  • 16.0–18.9 km · 314 m D−, -10.7% · 7.4 km ahead → your pace
