Първа Пушка Trail 2026

First Rifle Trail is a mountain running event in Koprivshtitsa that brings together sport, nature, and history. The race offers three routes of varying distances and elevation gain, passing through scenic forest trails and open ridgelines, and reaching Mount Bogdan—the highest point in Sredna Gora. Participants can enjoy beautiful autumn views, historic sites, and the atmosphere of the old town. The 25 km and 35 km distances are part of the international UTMB Index network, offering the opportunity to take part in the World Series.

The start is at 20th April Square in Koprivshtitsa. The entry includes a race pack with materials and gifts, chip timing, insurance, and medical assistance. Children under 13 may take part in the 10 km distance only with an accompanying adult. In poor weather conditions, the 10 km course may be run in the opposite direction. The cutoff time for 25 km is 5 hours and 30 minutes, and for 35 km it is 6 hours and 30 minutes.
