They are rather shy but still be careful while running close to them. Maps: 1:10000 with 5m contour interval. Printed on waterproof paper. Control descriptions: in start area. Gates (important for 2nd stage): On northern part of map you might encounter doors/gates on fence or stone walls. Those gates are not locked. You can open them simple by raising them and push/pull. Please close gates behind you because they are preventing sheep to enter road or public forest. Look at sample photo:
Stone walls: There is many stone walls on map. If you destroy any of them please report organizer in finish about that. Forbidden area: on maps we have marked some small forbidden areas. They will not be marked on terrain. Special symbols: Note that on the map there is no vegetation boundary symbol (black dots). Day 1:
Day2:
For first stage density of black dots represents run ability of terrain. Denser the dots are more difficult is the terrain for running. As for second stage, small black dots (similar to vegetation boundary simbol) represent long piles of stone (similar to ruined stone wall but more than 1m wide and usualy less than 0.5 m high (photo). Small black circle represent small stone shelter mad by human (photo).
Start bibs: No start numbers will be used in 2015. Refreshment: water in the finish and on the course (only for second stage). Clothing: All competitors must have covered body with exception of head and arms.
Control points: Some control points will have multiple SI-units. It doesn't matter which SI-unit you punch with SI-chip. Mispunching results in disqualification. In case of SI-station failure you need to use manual punching on map. Map issue: We want to have fair-play conditions for everyone so after each competitor finishes his race he must dispose his map into box with corresponding category label on it. Maps can be taken after the last competitor's start. Scoring and results: Overall results will be based on your time through 2 stages. Results will be printed in finish area and published on web pages after each stage. Parking: Close to finish area for both stages. Toilets: In finish area (no toilets on start!). Trash: Please dispose trash into trash cans (separately for PET bottles and other garbage). Start: The route from finish to start is marked. It is runner´s responsibility to be at the start on time!

STAGE 1 – Voz Date: 14th March 2015 How to come: After crossing bridge take left turn towards airport of Krk. Follow the signs towards Voz peninsula for few km and you will reach finish area. Competition type: middle distance First start: 13:00 Map: Voz, 1:10000, e=5m, drawn in 2014 by Robert Miček (SVK) and Zdenek Sokolar (CZE). Revised in February 2015. Course planning: Matjaž Štanfel Course advisor: Tihomir Salopek Special comment of map: Mapmakers decided to use black dots representing stone field for definition of running speed. We recommend you not to enter areas drawn as hard running stony area if this is not necessary (look at special symols for stage 1). Terrain: Voz peninsula is bare-rock part of island of Krk and will provide unique (partly extreme) continental type of terrain. Most of the area is vegetation free and very demanding for high-speed running however fast running areas and forest area will occur during course. Shoes: Spike shoes are allowed but not recommended because of very stony ground. Dobb shoes without metal spikes are recommended. Safety issue: Be extra careful when running fast in stony area (M21E will pass through it). Stones on ground are sometimes very sharp and may cause injury after falling on ground. We warmly recommend use of running gloves in M21E for hand protection for first stage.
Finish area: North of finish tent will be placed spectator control (control point no. 90). After spectator control runners will have 765 m until finish. Note that from finish till start is 1050 m with 10 m of ascent. Entry into competition area is strictly forbidden! Competition area is marked on the map sample bellow:
STAGE 2 – Prniba Date: 15th March 2015 How to come: When heading towards Baška/Punat direction from Krk follow signs for camping Krk. Finish area is placed inside camping.

Course planning: Matjaž Štanfel Course advisor: Tihomir Salopek Special comment of map: High stone walls are presented with bare-rock symbol. This areas may sometimes be difficult for full-speed running. Terrain: Prniba peninsula will provide unique karst type of Mediterranean terrain. Most of the area is planted with pines and olives and provides fair run ability with exception of green areas. Shoes: Spike shoes are allowed but not recommended because of very stony ground.
