The longest and most attractive course (161 km) starts from one of the largest and oldest European
fortresses,
the Knin Fortress. Then along the Krčić river, it goes to the mountain shelter "Brezovac",
from where it climbs to
the highest peak in Croatia Dinara (Sinjal) 1831m and descends to the source
of Cetina, also known as "The Eye of
Dalmatia". From the source, route leads to the Dinara again,
more precisely under Lišanjski peak and then
to „Pume“ mountain shelter and on to Troglav, which
is also the highest point of the race. From Troglav, competitors
descend to the transition, the main
control point to the mountain lodge of „St. Jakov on Vrdovo“, which
is half of the race. From the St.
Jakov, over the famous Mračna peća trail leads to Kamešnica by
the shelter "Edo Retelj" (Kurtagića
dolac) and then along the ridge it passes the highest peaks of Kamešnica -
Burnjača, Garjata,
Kamešnica and Konj. After the conquered peaks, there is a descent through the area of Žlabina and
a
re-ascent under the famous ridge to Kruge. From Kruge, the trail leads through Korita and, bypassing
the Glavaš peak, continues to Gljev and via Han leads to the finish line, which is located in the
knightly city
of Sinj.
