Route description

The northern arc from Yakutskiye Gory reaches the Skirmantovka through woodland lanes and winding paths. At Kaspersky Race 2021, it served as the night trail and the second stage of the multi-stage running event. Choose daylight for an independent first visit: the turns and small river valley can then become part of the experience rather than a test of navigation in darkness. From the venue near Yakuty, the route begins along the nearby woodland side before taking a substantial arc north. Several changes of direction lead towards the river and the southbound return. The closing section passes around the eastern surroundings and approaches the beginning from the south. This sequence gives a sense of the woodland’s extent without continuing onto the larger circuit’s distant country road. This is a separate running version with its own character. Careful footing, an unhurried pace on uneven ground and a confirmed Skirmantovka crossing matter here. Agree venue admission before travelling. The former night-event name does not establish present lighting or marking.

Route at a glance

Главное за минуту
Explore the northern woodland circuit used for both the 2021 night run and the multi-stage event. Daylight makes its winding arc and meeting with the Skirmantovka easier to appreciate. It is a fuller exploration of the surrounding paths than the short nearby circuit, with an eastern and southern return.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Without a car - Hard With children - No With a dog - No data By bike - No With a stroller - No Mobile signal - No data The complete independent version is for adults experienced in woodland running and willing to walk poor earth sections. Former festival family categories do not establish present suitability for children. Cycling passage of this running version is unverified, and it is unsuitable for a stroller. A night outing requires separate preparation and confident daylight familiarity; dog admission and reliable reception are unknown.

Nearby

Skirmantovo and the Volma forestry office are outside the immediate course. The circuit does not include a village visit, office entry or neighbouring yards. The first stage’s larger eastern loop and N8421 road also belong to another version. At Yakutskiye Gory, sauna and pool access belongs to organised events. Former night marking, food, assistance and camping were festival arrangements. They do not establish present support for an independent outing or a right of night access.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Transport to the beginning on the chosen date is unconfirmed. Establish a possible arrival towards Yakuty, a permissible walking approach and a return departure beforehand. Check return arrangements particularly carefully if finishing late. The organised transfer in the Kaspersky Race 2021 programme is not a present permanent service.
By car
Agree arrival at Yakutskiye Gory near Yakuty. Its operator accepts prior requests in spring, summer and autumn and closes the venue in winter. Confirm both daylight admission and your return time if staying late. The historical night-trail name does not authorise evening access to the private venue. Arrange any vehicle meeting elsewhere separately in permissible places.
Parking
Parking is unconfirmed. Ask the operator whether the area may be used during an independent outing and the latest permissible return time. Event-guest spaces do not guarantee parking on an ordinary day or evening. Another arrival method is required if no suitable permissible option exists. Keep gates, lanes and woodland exits clear.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainДанные по набору высоты уточняются.
SurfaceDirt 4%, Unknown 96%.
Риски The northern part includes an old woodland connection without confirmed present continuous passage. Establish a permissible direction beforehand; if this cannot be checked, omit it or return along a familiar way. The Skirmantovka crossing has no confirmed guaranteed dry footbridge. Establish water conditions and a permissible crossing method in advance; unsuitable water prevents continuing the full circuit. The eastern and southern return includes very uneven surfaces, poor earth lanes and a difficult path. Walk after rain, over roots and among obstructing branches. Present clearance, lighting and marking are unconfirmed. Darkness makes these conditions harder to assess, so plan a first visit in daylight.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 1 h 54 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
Prepare a separate daylight outing with spare time for slow sections. This version’s exact duration is unverified. Useful preparation groups are nearby forest junctions, the northern arc, the Skirmantovka crossing and the eastern and southern return. After an early finish, use a permissible verified return. Do not copy the former night-race start time into a personal schedule.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose dry weather in the warmer season after agreeing admission to the starting venue. After rain, establish river conditions and the state of weak earth connections. In autumn, retain more daylight because leaves hide uneven ground. The operator closes the venue in winter, and independent winter passage is unconfirmed.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Grippy shoes for woodland earth surfaces.
Your own drinking water and food for the whole outing with a reserve.
A headlamp, reserve power and backup light for a late return.
Rain protection, warm clothing and a dry change.
A phone with a saved map, first aid and agreed return contacts.
