The story

Bjelasica Ultra Trail in Kolasin/Bjelasica

Bjelasica Ultra Trail is a mountain trail-running event organized by the NGO A New Beginning on Mount Bjelasica near Kolasin, held every August. The 2026 edition, scheduled for August 8-9, offers four distances, a 62-kilometer Red route, 45-kilometer Green, 23-kilometer Blue and 12-kilometer Orange, taking runners past glacial lakes and traditional wooden mountain lodges across a highland landscape considered among the Balkans' most scenic.

Mount Bjelasica rises above the town of Kolasin as one of the more scenic highland ranges in the Balkans, dotted with glacial lakes and the wooden katun lodges that highland shepherds once used during summer grazing season.
