Information
🏁 Shooting Sprint Trail 2026
Short distance. High intensity. Maximum adrenaline!
Taking place in Baku on November 29, 2026, Shooting Sprint Trail 2026 is a dynamic trail race where speed, reaction, and technique take center stage. The short distance does not make the race easier; on the contrary, it makes it more intense. Every climb, descent, turn, and second affects the final result.
This race differs from classic long-distance trail events. Instead of managing energy over a long period, participants must choose the right pace over a short distance, maintain their speed, and navigate the technical sections with precision.
⛰️ Race Format
5 km — Sprint Trail
10 km — Shooting Trail
Both distances follow the same main course. Participants in the 5 km race complete the course once, while participants in the 10 km race complete it twice.
🔓 Open Format For Everyone — Start Without Fear
Those seeking their first trail-running experience can choose the 5 km distance, while runners who want to test their speed and technical skills in a more intense format can choose the 10 km distance.
The main goal is to select a distance suited to your level of preparation, race safely, and reach the finish line.
