FEEL THE LEGEND
      RUN THE MYTH
08.03.2026

Where rocks tell legends and trails preserve history, Krali Marko Trails returns once again. On March 8, 2026, in the heart of the protected area of Markovi Kuli near Prilep, the 13th edition of one of the most authentic mountain trail events in the region will take place — a race measured not only in kilometers, but in experience.

Krali Marko Trails is more than a sporting event. It is a journey through millennia of history, a rugged landscape shaped by time, and terrain that demands respect and presence. From the cobbled streets of Varosh, across the fortress of Markovi Kuli, to the monastery of Treskavec and the wild ridges of Edinak towards Kamena Baba, each course offers a unique blend of technical terrain, runnable sections, and breathtaking views over Pelagonia valley and the mountain ranges that surround it.

With three carefully designed distances — Markukule Trail 13K, Treskavec Trail 23K, and Kamena Baba Trail 40K — the race offers a challenge for different profiles of runners: from those taking their first steps into mountain running, to experienced athletes seeking long, technical and demanding routes. All distances share a common start, spirit, and character — raw, authentic, and uncompromising.

Krali Marko Trails is created by and for people who love the mountains, movement, and community. With a strong focus on safety, respect for nature, and sustainability, the race continues to grow with each edition while preserving its original spirit and strong local identity.

This is not just a race. It is a meeting with your own limits, with legends that still live among the rocks, and with people who share the same values.

Feel the myth – run the legend, and become part of Krali Marko Trails 2026.
