FOUR CORNERS OF CROATIA

HARD CRO is an international ultra marathon cycling race in Croatia. Event is organised in June, before the peak of tourist season, with the intention of repeating it each year. The challenge consists of completing the route (around 1.400 km) in less than 5 days, cycling through the most attractive locations in Croatia and all four corners, east, north, west and south. The race is for solo riders or pairs in self supported style.

All the contestants are to be fully autonomous, with no support along the route, caring about their own food, equipment, bicycle and pauses. However, organiser will provide in Lifeclass Terme Sveti Martin and Savudrija (control points) apartments for short sleep, showers and lunch. No route plan is suggested, each contestant should make their own route and plan the ride individually. It is important to reach the finish line before time runs out, within the time limits!

WELCOME!
