Ultra Trail Učka 2026 — overview

Ultra Trail Učka 2026 is a sea-to-summit trail race set in Park prirode Učka, with start and finish in Mošćenička Draga.

From the Adriatic shoreline, the routes climb into the park’s most beautiful sections — forest trails, open ridgelines, and panoramic viewpoints.

Three distances share the same signature contrast: the calm of the seaside start and the raw, wild feel of Učka as the elevation builds.

UTU85 — 85 km / 4600 m+

The full Ultra Trail Učka experience. A true sea-to-summit journey that takes you deep into the wild heart of the park, with long climbs, big elevation gain, and hours on rugged mountain terrain.

This is the “all-in” option for runners who want a complete tour of Učka’s most demanding landscapes — a long day where pacing, resilience, and smart decisions matter as much as fitness.

ULC — 42 km / 2200 m+

A mountain marathon with serious character. Starting by the sea and quickly rising into Učka’s iconic scenery, this route blends runnable stretches with sustained climbs and technical trail sections.

It’s demanding, but highly rewarding — ideal if you want a big, honest mountain race that delivers the best ridge-and-forest views without the full ultra distance.

ULM — 13 km / 650 m+

Short, punchy, and scenic. ULM delivers the UTU signature in a compact format: a seaside start, quick elevation, and a fast trail loop with panoramic Učka moments.

Perfect for first-timers, speed-lovers, or anyone who wants the atmosphere and the views without an all-day effort — and a great stepping stone toward longer UTU distances.

Mošćenička Draga — start by the sea

Make a weekend of it in Mošćenička Draga — a relaxed coastal base where the mountains rise straight from the sea. Arrive early for a swim, a stroll along the promenade, and local food, then line up on the waterfront for one of the most distinctive starts in trail running.
