Rab Island
For the sixth year in a row, Rab Island – a small pearl for mountain biking, is our inevitable destination at the beginning of the season. Once you try it, you always come back. Rab MTB Marathon – May 16th, 2026.
Once again we have left the designing, tracing and marking of the courses to those who know the best what the island has to offer and joined our forces with BK Mag, local club from the Rab Island.
What you will not find on Strava and similar services, what you will not find in any tourist brochure, you will get in this race. Rab Island at its best.
And what awaits the competitors? Hard stone surface, sandy parts, stone crags without vegetation, deep Mediterranean coniferous forests, fun singles and fast “gravel” sections… So much diversity in a very small area!
Rab Island is accessible, with mild Mediterranean climate and attractive single-trails network that stretches all over the island. The cyclists are required to be adaptable and have a smart bike set-up, while the trail itself offers incredible panoramic sceneries and views of Velebit mountain, neighboring islands & islets and the crystal blue sea, as far as the eye can see.
Unique, extraordinary, excellent.
Just for one day.
