On Saturday, October 10, 2015 a Mountain Race: Gazivode - Mokra Gora was organised by Outdoor In, Institute for Territorial Economic Development - InTER, Sport Club “Alti” and the Municipality of Zubin Potok. This sport and tourism event was organised within the project “Climbing on Berim Rocks – Dare to Imagine”, financed by the Embassy of Finland, and also supported by PPSE/Swisscontact and USAID Empower.

The event was attended by the Ambassador of Finland, Anne Huhtamäki and her associate Jehona Ademaj, representative of PPSE Ivana Bozic, as well as officials from the Municipality of Zubin Potok including the Mayor, Stevan Vulovic. The mountain race was covered by three TV crews: RTV Mir from Leposavic, RTK2 – program in Serbian and TV Most from Zvecan.

The event attracted 29 runners and more than 50 hikers, who showed an incredible sport spirit and love for outdoor activities in spite of extremely bad weather conditions (heavy rain, fog, wind and low temperature). Due to extremely bad weather conditions, the race length was reduced by around 6km and the trail was changed in a way to remain under 1300m above sea level.
