Prologue
The prologue is opening XC time trial with an interval start, which shows the level of the technical and physical difficulty of all race.
The Prologue is approx. 10 km long with eight special tests for enduro in a close area at Teplice nad Metuji. This race guides competitors through pinewood or around rock blocks (sometimes nearer than man wants) and shows that it is possible to ascend and descend quite many heigh meters in a small area.

Track profile - 3rd stage - Vrani hory
The third stage of MTB Trilogy combines characters of both previous stages. So bikers can look forward to long trails along Czech-Poland borderline and sand blocks and rocks along the trails. Riding skills will be check with gravel downhills. There is an amazing view on the Giant Mountains panorama (with the highest mountain in Czech - Snezka) after long uphill on the highest point of the stage – Kralovecky Spicak (881 m n.m.). The highlight of the stage is renowned and feared downhill from Jansky hill. The trail leads on the edge of rock (with Keltic menhir) and ends by very steep downhill with dust surface.
4th stage– Trutnov Trails
The last stage of the MTB Trilogy will take the racers to a raw Canadian bike ride on the local single of the trail - Trutnov Trails, which will test them not only technically but also physically. At last year's premiere of the entrance speed test into the Trutnov Trails area, it took the best enduro rider over 16 minutes! And definitely, this delicacy leading the Bunkr trail will not be missing this year either. There will be no lack of rocky sandstone blocks on the track, as well as crossings of roots or the boulders themselves!
