The 10K course offers a fantastic running experience through the beautiful surroundings of Kukës. Starting in the city center, the route takes you through scenic areas with minimal elevation gain, making it perfect for both beginners and those looking to set a personal best. The out-and-back course ensures you'll enjoy the beautiful landscapes from multiple perspectives.
If you're new to running, start with a run/walk strategy. Begin with 3-4 training sessions per week, gradually increasing your running time while decreasing walking intervals. A 8-10 week training plan is ideal to prepare for your first 10K.
Focus on interval training and tempo runs to improve your speed. Include one long run per week that's slightly longer than the 10K distance to build endurance. Don't forget to incorporate rest days for recovery.
Stay hydrated throughout your training. For the race itself, practice your nutrition strategy during training runs. For a 10K, most runners only need water during the race, but if you prefer, energy gels can be consumed about 15 minutes before the start.
Participants must be at least 14 years old on race day to compete in the 10K Run.
Yes, walkers are welcome! Please note that the course time limit is 2 hours, which requires maintaining a pace of approximately 12 minutes per kilometer.
For safety reasons, strollers are not permitted on the 10K course.
Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. This policy applies to all participants regardless of circumstances.
Yes, we provide a secure bag check service at the start/finish area. Please use the clear bag provided at packet pickup.
