The story

Durmitor Ring Race in Durmitor/Zabljak

The Durmitor Ring Race is an ultra-endurance road cycling and running event circling the Durmitor mountain massif, starting in Zabljak, the highest town in the Balkans. The roughly 85-kilometer route climbs about 2,500 meters, passing the Tara and Susica river canyons and a high point near Stuoc peak, testing competitors against some of the region's most dramatic mountain terrain within Durmitor National Park.

Zabljak holds the distinction of being the highest town in the Balkans, a base camp of sorts for the Durmitor massif that rises around it.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The race draws its identity directly from the terrain it crosses rather than any staged spectacle

02

The mystery stays covered

Starting in Zabljak, already the highest town in the Balkans, competitors face an 85-kilometer loop that gains roughly 2,500 meters of elevation, a profile that places the Durmitor Ring among the more demanding endurance routes in the region for both cyclists and runners

03

The city starts moving

The route's path along the Tara and Susica river canyons, two of the deepest and most dramatic gorges in Europe, gives the race a visual intensity matched by few other endurance events, while the climb near Stuoc peak adds a genuine high-altitude test within the boundaries of Durmitor National Park
