WHY EUROPE TRAIL CUP
Europe Trail Cup (ETC) brings together a selection of trail races across Slovenia, Slovakia, Italy, Poland, North Macedonia, and Croatia.
Each race stands on its own, shaped by its terrain, local community, and identity, while together they form a connected experience across the season.
ETC is built for runners who want more than a single race. It is about showing up in different places, discovering new environments, and staying consistent over time.
By linking races across countries, ETC creates a simple but meaningful connection between events, rewarding movement, exploration, and commitment throughout the season.
