Stolovi · Ibar · Kraljevo
The race
Four specialists. One line to the finish.
About the race
4 Elements is a team extreme outdoor race on Mount Stolovi and the river Ibar near Kraljevo, Serbia. Four athletes, four disciplines and one shared result — trail running, mountain biking, kayak and paragliding joined into one uninterrupted contest against terrain, weather and your own limits.
The idea is simple: mountain, river and air sit within twenty kilometres of each other here. Few places in the world let one race take in all three without travelling between stages.
4 Elements is now a race in a new format — this is the 9th sporting event in the series.
Format and teams
A team is four athletes, one per discipline. The race runs in four consecutive stages: from the ridge of Stolovi into the air, from the air onto the trails, and from the trails to the Ibar. Time is taken for the team.
Individual entry is not possible. The result is shared, and that is the point — the strongest are not individuals, they are teams. A team that overestimates itself on the first stage pays for it on every one that follows.
Categories
Two categories: PRO and AMATEUR. PRO is for athletes who compete, AMATEUR for everyone else. The terrain, the order of the stages and the timing are the same for both.
Mixed teams are allowed. There are no separate women’s, junior or veteran categories.
One athlete — one discipline. A reserve athlete is optional, and entry is from eighteen years of age. The team line-up may be changed up to seven days before the race.
Entry and fee
Registration opens on 1 January 2027, at a lower price for those who enter first.
The entry fee is paid per team, in euros. It covers the starter pack, meals, accommodation, transport along the course, timing and a shirt. The amount and the final list will be published before registration opens.
The form does not have to be filled in at one sitting — the captain receives a link by email and continues later. The public start list shows the team name and country; an athlete who does not want their name shown may ask for it to be withheld.
