Kondimootor 30/50: The Treaders of Heaven
Third in line KondimootorThe 30st series endurance hike is typical of August - sun, greenery and rushing water. This time we will take on the magical hiking trails of Taevaskoja and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the restoration of Estonian independence a day later, which is also indicated by the distance of the shorter trail, XNUMX km. Everyone is welcome - those who are covering such a long distance for the first time, hobby hikers or (hobby) athletes pursuing a sporting achievement. In any case, a pleasant Saturday with a sweet sense of achievement is guaranteed!
There are plenty of snack points along the route, where a supportive organizing team will assist participants and motivate them to keep striving. By the way, in previous KondimootorThere have been only a few dropouts on the stages, so the chances of finishing the race are very high; the distances seem long and can be completed in one day. So, bring your friends and come enjoy a nice effort in the fresh air.
Due to pandemic restrictions, there will be no mass start this time either, but there will be a start window during which you can spread out and go to the track on your own. In addition, we will not be doing any indoor activities and we will minimize the gathering of people in the event area. More details below.

COURSE
The hiking/racing trail is circular, meaning the start and finish are in the same place. The trail passes through various Taevaskoja, Kiidjärve and Mammaste hiking trails and is without direction signs. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use a GPS navigation device (a GPS sports watch or smartphone is also suitable) or follow a map (this is more of a backup option), and a certain level of orientation skills or at least a technically savvy navigator in the group is required. Fellow hikers who you can follow or ask for help from are also helpful, but of course you should not rely on this alone.
When moving in dim light or darkness, a flashing red light must be attached to the back, a reflector or reflective material visible from both the front and back, and we recommend using a lit headlamp (see “mandatory equipment”). This helps ensure the participant’s visibility both in the forest and on roads, and is also helpful in searching if necessary.
We have set up the following drink and snack points along the trail:
30 km track:
Drink and snack point
Food stand (Tactical food pack)
50 km track:
Drink and snack point
