Midi

 

MIDI is becoming our signature race. It is a real treat for trail runners and enthusiasts who want a challenging race, full of diverse landscapes. The MIDI race has a different ambience than the MINI race, but it is also a circular race, which starts and ends on the plateau of the Rajska dolina hotel in Jahorina. While the MINI race route offers an incredible view of the open mountain expanse, the MIDI race route extends through conifer and beech forests all the way to Gola Jahorina and its open meadow expanses, thus encompassing the most diverse environments of Jahorina. This 30-kilometer long race, with a cumulative ascent of 1,200 meters, is a somewhat more demanding than MINI race and, as such, is intended for those who have the desire to put their psycho-physical potential to the test, while remaining in the zone of enjoying nature and its benefits without excessive effort and exhaustion.
