Breaking News - Race Report Stage 3 - Peaks of the Balkans

After departing our warm beds of Guesthouse Kulla, we make our way further into the deep mountains of the Peaks of the Balkans - we pass through remote Shepard huts and pine forest before a 3,5km ascent to to the finish line in the “sky”. in overlooking the beautiful valley of Dugäive.

Tomorrow we will be crossing the border into Montenegro.

After a hard fight for the first - Joel Anderson and Bryan Gentist, the first and second male overall decided to seal the day with gesture of friendship: they finished together, hand in hand and smiles on their face.
