Kondimootor 30/50/70: The Fast and the Furious of Kõrvemaa

[Registration for the event has closed!]

Kondimootor 30/50/70:
The Fast and the Furious

 
 

Another summer awaits Kondimootor, where you can give your feet a break and discover the wonderful Estonian nature. This KondimootorWhat makes it special is the addition of a third, even longer, distance! This was prompted by the urgent desire of our crazy fans to test themselves in the best sense of the word. The super long course will be affectionately called “Bone Breaker”. Despite the name of the event, we hope that there will be no angry participants; fast participants are very welcome. :)

So, there are three distances on the menu for the next event: 30 km, 50 km and 70 km.

The location is the Põhja-Kõrvemaa nature reserve, where you can find bogs, lakes, greenery and even the Estonian desert landscape. These are truly diverse and beautiful hiking trails. There is also no shortage of ups and downs, which make the feeling of achievement even more enjoyable. Of course, the feeling of achievement only comes at the end or even the next day.

There are plenty of snack points along the trail, which many participants have said they had to go walking again the next day - their stomachs were so full by the end of the day! Our lovely organizing team will be helping and encouraging participants at the points. Bring your friends and come and test yourself. In any case, a pleasant Saturday with a sweet sense of achievement is guaranteed!

Important information

Kondimootor is open to all who wish, but it should be borne in mind that it is still a fairly long hiking distance. Therefore, assess your fitness and ability accordingly and choose a distance (and start time) that is within your reach. The organizers do not take responsibility for any injuries, damage, etc. that may occur during the event - participants participate in the event entirely at their own risk. However, this disclaimer should not discourage you, it is a fun and exciting event!

COMPETITION CENTER: START AND FINISH

The competition center, or start and finish, is located at the Kõrvemaa Ski and Hiking Center: see on Google Maps. When you arrive, follow the directions. Kondimootori tags.

Before going on the trail, you must go through the competition center, where we will register you and give you competition materials. There is a toilet at the competition center and a café is also open at the Kõrvemaa Ski and Hiking Center.

The start is open at 09.00-11.00 and the finish line closes at 00.00.

PARKING

Kõrvemaa Ski and Hiking Center There is a large parking lot next to the hotel where you can leave your cars. The parking lot can accommodate up to 280 cars.



TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION

There is no organized transportation and the course is a circle (start and finish are in the same place). When it comes to transportation, we recommend using the help of family or acquaintances if possible so that you don't have to drive back yourself when you're tired.

It is possible to stay overnight at the Kõrvemaa Ski and Hiking Centre by booking in advance. More information can be found on their website. sportlandkorvemaa.ee or info@korvemaa.ee / +372 524 6628.

COMPETITION MATERIALS

Competition materials will be available from the start of the race (9.00:11.00 a.m.) until the start closes (XNUMX:XNUMX a.m.). Each competitor will receive the following materials at the start point before entering the track:

  • Trail map

  • Race number (+safety pins)

  • Kondimootori stickers


COURSE

The hiking/racing trail is circular, meaning the start and finish are in the same place. The trail passes through various hiking trails in the Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve and RMK, and to a lesser extent, also along side roads. There is no need to climb through the rocks, the trail follows hiking and road paths, as well as boardwalks.

There are practically no trail markings or signposts on the trail (except at points), so it is strongly recommended to use a GPS navigation device (a GPS sports watch or smartphone is also suitable) or use a paper map, but this is an emergency option. A paper map is not a special orienteering map! It would be good if there was a map reader or at least a technically savvy navigator in the group. Fellow hikers who can be followed or asked for help are also helpful, but of course you should not rely on this alone.

NB! The length of the trail can be estimated with a margin of error of +/- 3 km, and in case of error, the actual trail may also be longer.

The course map (PDF and various GPS formats) with marked waypoints can be downloaded. The course map and a more detailed course description will be sent to participants in the pre-race newsletter after registration closes (i.e. approximately one week before the event).

You can choose your favorite lunch from the options provided in the registration form. We recommend that you bring your own cutlery (spoon/spork) to reduce waste; MEKI food can be conveniently eaten straight from the pack.

Water and sports drinks are also available at each station. If possible, use your own drinking vessels to reduce the number of cups you use.
