The Ipertrail2024 was originally conceived as an event for 100 participants; Now, it only caters for 20 members in the FULL version, another 20 with shuttle service included for departure and arrival, and 20 more in the purely SELF version.
Our wish is to get to know you personally, one by one, and make you feel at home. We offer free photos along the hyperrail route, with a dedicated photographer and video maker for each group of 20 runners. Staff and support will always be at your disposal: a small group, but with attention to every detail.
Many of you understand, or can easily guess, that the Ipertrail is a non-returnable event, where entry fees cover less than half of the costs of the services offered. We are able to achieve this thanks to the unconditional support of sponsors and volunteers, maintaining a competition with an authentic spirit, aimed not only at top runners or those who can afford a high expense, but at those who understand the true meaning of the race.
We have already confirmed four shelters, each with a capacity of 20 people in shared rooms. On the last two stages, the capacity will be doubled to 40 people. The refuges are aesthetically pleasing, immaculate, modern and run by enthusiastic and dedicated staff. We spent hours in discussion with the managers, pondering what to prepare to eat and how to organise such an epic adventure as the Ipertrail. Returning home after these meetings, we felt not tired, but very satisfied, motivated and excited. Not so much for the professional result achieved, but for the energy and atmosphere we created together. This is exactly what we wish to replicate during the competition itself.
This is What Ipertrail 2024 Will Look Like:
Shelter Logistics.
The first three refuges are located 30-45 minutes by forest road from the nearest village, a somewhat bumpy stretch through nature, far from shops or other facilities. To reach them, you will need a vehicle suitable for rough roads. The last point is located in a picturesque karstic village, which can be reached by asphalt road.
Beds
There will be 20 places available for the FULL version, which includes all services, including transport from Trieste to Ljubljana. These competitors will be guaranteed a bed in the refuge, the use of a shower, and the transport of a duffel bag for changes of clothing. Those who participate in the FULL version will simply enjoy the stage, with the certainty that they will find everything they need at the end.
All other participants have the option of registering for the SELF mode, which does not include overnight accommodation in a refuge. Everyone is free to decide whether to book hotel, B&B or farmhouse accommodation. In addition, the shuttle service for transport to and from the starting and finishing points of each stage can be purchased separately.
How to cope with hyperrail
We would like to remind you that the race takes place on easy hiking trails with little altitude difference, and that navigation is via GPS track. Each competitor has the option of participating in a hyper-competitive spirit, running at full strength and using all the time between each stage to recover, or of enjoying the experience more calmly, knowing that they have 12 hours available for each stage, tackling the route as a long and pleasant trek. The beauty of the Ipertrail lies precisely in its versatility, which allows each participant to experience the event according to their own preferences and abilities.
