Over a decade ago, we’ve started organizing MTB races with a dream of creating a top-tier multi-day stage race in Istria. This stunning peninsula that stretches deep into the Adriatic Sea offers everything a mountain biker could desire, from breathtaking views to exciting trails that push riders to their limits and bring smile on their faces.

To prepare for this epic event, we devoted over 600 hours to crafting 3 stages that showcases Istria’s hidden gems. To uncover the region’s secret single-trails, we had to ask the locals for their “kozje staze”, which means “goat trails”. We asked this question so many times and some of the trails have never been ridden by humans on two wheels.
But our vision was never just to put as many “goat-trails” into the race, the goal was to show you all colors and layers of Istria, mixed with great riding experience, scenery and hospitality.

This is why we proudly declare it as The G.O.A.T. of Istria.
