TRANS BALKAN RACE

Your Application for the Trans Balkan Race 2025 consists of two main sections:

  • Get-to-know-you questions
  • Background and motivation

We decided to add an application process before entering the race with the double purpose of having a chance to “meet” our riders and making sure you understand what you’re signing up for. Filling out this Application shouldn’t be a boring assignment. Think of it as an opportunity for us to get to know you better! Why would you like to be part of the Trans Balkan Race 2025?
