The Sprint distance of 18 kilometers starts at the Makedonski Selo complex in front of the Ethno Museum. From here, runners follow the asphalt road past the St. Panteleimon monastery and through the village of Gorno Nerezi. Immediately after the mosque, from the main road, you turn left on a narrow asphalt path steeply upward between the houses to climb toward the ridge of Vodno toward the peak Kale (Kota). At 5.3 km from the start, on the ridge before the birches - at the junction toward the village of Gorni Grchec and where the gas pipeline descends northward, the path separates to the left and downward heading south. After a hundred meters, you join by turning left onto the single track path with red soil.

Return back to the saddle (where the excavators were) and first climb to the small peak and then exit onto the gravel road along the gas pipeline. Through the bunkers, cross to the left onto the beautiful forest path called Gunda. At 9.4km there is the Gunda 1 junction where you turn upward to the right, briefly exit onto the gravel road (gas pipeline) on the ridge - cross over and separate to the left into a narrow single track path heading south toward the village of Sonje. Follow the path and after less than a kilometer turn left, and after a few km descend between the houses to the middle of the village of Gorno Sonje where the only refreshment station is located (12km). From there, past the repeater and through coniferous forest, climb again along a gentle-steep and wide mountaineering path, this time toward Vodno peak (Krstovar) (Millennium Cross).

At the peak, you don't go through the lodge but cross over, the asphalt road continues downward to the left toward Skopje and in the direction of the Children's Resort (15.6km) and from there turn left along a mountaineering path that leads to Bunkeri. The path is a single track that passes by several huge boulders and gently climbs again to the junction of the Gunda path (where you turned from Bunkeri toward Sonje). That is at 16.9km, then turn right and downward along a single trail to the finish at Makedonski Selo. You enter from the Upper Gate (near the fountain) and make one semicircle through the complex to finally finish at the restaurant on the square (18.7km).
