In 2010 Gorgany Race started near Stara Huta village, Ivano-Frankivsk region. The competition was held in “Trek” and “Bike” categories including mountain biking/cycling, trekking/running, orienteering, rope activities. The teams from 2 to 4 people had to cover the distance of about 90 km (“Trek”) and about 160 km (“Bike”) along the challenging mountain terrain in less than 30 hours. Due to the difficult orienteering in covered with dense forest mountains, a considerable distance, the large differences in elevation, the need to repeatedly ford water obstacles, etc., only few managed to pass all the required
checkpoints and meet the time limit. Overall, in 2010 the competition was attended by 66 teams (158 people), which represented almost all regions of Ukraine and a neighboring country Poland.
