PROLOGUE START TIMES
For the start of the Prologue, teams will be seeded according to their self-estimate times. Start times will be published on www.epic-series.com/4islands as well as the Epic Series App. Please check-in at the designated call up area 15min before your allocated start time. If a team misses their start time, they will have to start at the back of the field and their time will be taken from their allocated start time.
The prologue will be with 12km and 250m of climbing; a relatively short stage to get a first taste of what awaits you during the week. From sea level to a single trail heaven, teams will sprint off along and over the famous Baška town beach, towards the edge of town, where they will start a short climb toward the pine tree forest crisscrossed with small technical trails and then double back toward the town beach.
