Durmitor Ring Marathon

The start is organised in starting boxes, and the time limit is five hours – the finish closes at 2 p.m. A properly fastened helmet and a waterproof long-sleeved jacket, which the rider must carry throughout the race, are mandatory. Electric bicycles are not allowed, except in a specially announced non-competitive category. Insurance is mandatory and is provided by the organiser upon registration.

The entry fee depends on the order of confirmed and paid registrations: €79 for the first 100 riders, then €89, €99, €109, €119 and €125, up to €129 from the 351st registration. The basic package includes participation, timekeeping, closed roads and a 30% discount on the entry fee for the 2028 edition during pre-registration. The Gold package (+€79) adds an official cycling jersey, Platinum (+€129) also includes a start from the VIP corridor, and the Diamond package (€750) includes a rental car from the airport in Podgorica or Tivat, two nights at Hotel Aleksandar Conference & Spa with half board for one person, and priority check-in. Registrations close on 6 June 2027. For cancellations up to 26 May 2027, 80% of the entry fee is refunded; from 27 May to 12 June the entry fee is transferred to the next edition, and after that it is neither refunded nor transferred.

The first 100 riders with a confirmed and paid registration, regardless of package, are guaranteed a start from the first starting corridor, a personalised start number in a special colour and a place on the “Durmitor Ring Wall of Fame – Marathon Founder Riders” wall. Those who finish the marathon also receive a glass plaque of the first edition, numbered from 001 to 100.

The same route can also be ridden independently, as the Durmitor Ring Experience: without a joint start and organiser support, on roads open to traffic, in the season from April to October, depending on weather and road conditions – except on marathon day. Registration is free and opens on 10 October 2026; riders receive the official GPX and instructions for checkpoints, and after a verified ride a certificate and their name on the wall of fame in the Žabljak Tourist Organisation. In this variant, all types of bicycles are allowed, including electric ones.
