The race at a glance

Route and elevation

MISPO’s trail-marathon page describes the July 25, 2026 race from the C. R. Jakobson Farm Museum at Kurgja. That edition has finished; the page does not yet establish a 2027 trail-marathon date.

  • The trail event starts at the C. R. Jakobson Farm Museum in Kurgja.
  • Its 2026 categories were 42.195 km and 21.097 km.
  • Sakala Tee’s 7 km and 14 km races are separate listings on the same page.

Race guide

Kurgja trail race and the completed July edition

The museum venue matters when planning a return visit: the club also organizes other races around Vändra, and its general club address is not automatically the start of this trail marathon. Save the event-specific venue only after checking the next edition’s instructions. Do not use the date of the winter MISPO marathon or Vändra road marathon for this race.

For the completed 2026 edition, the secretariat opened at 09:00 and the start was at 11:00. Advance registration closed the day before, with race-morning entries also described. These are historical arrangements, not a promised collection window or late-entry option for a future edition. Check both the new entry deadline and whether payment alone reserves a place.

The old information lists different full- and half-marathon fee tiers, with a race-day supplement. It also contains a leftover 2014 fee line, so its lowest number should not be treated as a current marathon price. Use the next event’s named category and checkout instructions before paying; do not transfer a fee based solely on the club’s general bank details.

The 2026 finish provision included food, drink and sauna access. Those amenities do not establish the number or spacing of aid stations on the trail. Before choosing a carrying system, obtain the actual route, elevation, cutoff and aid layout for the announced edition. Prepare for the confirmed surface and support rather than applying road-marathon splits to an unspecified trail profile.

Next edition awaiting confirmation

An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
