Within the set control time, the organisers are responsible for the participants.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RUNNERS!
At each check point, our volunteers will register you and put a stamp in your book. Only participant with all the stamps will be considered as finishers, in order to avoid shortening the route. Any attempts to shorten the route at turns will be noted and will add penalty of 10 minutes to the the participant’s time.
We use only the marked trail in a fair manner, for our own safety.

------------------
This event’s beauty is that it leads you through very attractive natural area, from the coast, over the rocky hinterland of Kotor into the forests of National park Lovćen. Also, it takes you through important historical areas, such as the walls of Kotor and St Ivan fortress, old road Kotor-Njeguši-Cetinje and Njegoš Mausoleum on Lovćen.
What makes this day special, besides the natural diversity and beauty is the fact that it starts by the sea and ends around 1700m above sea level.
JOIN US FOR ANOTHER DAY IN BEAUTIFUL NATURE!
Interesovanje za prethodno krstarenje do Mamule je bilo veliko i zato ga moramo ponoviti jer dosta vas nije uspjelo da se prijavi za brod 10.jula 2016.
Ako ste pomislili da je to sve od ljetnjih dogadjaja za ovaj vikend sa Vjevericama, noćna tura i brodić Mamula, prevarili ste se. :)
