Ijen Trail Running • 2017

Event lari tahunan, Ijen Trail Running kembali diadakan oleh Egon Trail Indonesia dan Ed-Venture bekerja sama dengan Pemerintah Kabupaten Bondowoso. Acara ini akan dilaksanakan pada 21 – 22 Mei 2016 yang berlokasi di Dataran Tinggi Ijen.

Kawah Ijen merupakan salah satu kawah paling asam terbesar di dunia dengan dinding kaldera setinggi 300-500 meter dan luas kawahnya mencapai 5.466 hektar. Kawah di tengah kaldera tersebut merupakan yang terluas di Pulau Jawa dengan ukuran 20 km. Berlari di mengelilingi kaldera merupakan sebuah kenikmatan tak terdandingi karena kita akan dimanjakan oleh keindahan daerah pegunungan yang dikelilingi kawasan hutan, cagar alam dan perkebunan kopi yang menghasilkan kopi kelas dunia.

Terdapat 4 kategori perlombaan, yaitu: – Ultra Trail Running 70K – Altitude Trail Running 42K – Ijen Trail Running 21K – Ijen Trail Running 10K.

Masing-masing kategori dimulai di Kecamatan Sempol dengan waktu dan jarak tempuh yang berbeda. Pendaftaran Ijen Trail Running sudah dibuka sejak 14 Januari 2016 dan akan ditutup pada 8 Mei 2016.

3rd edition of another big volcano event in East Java, close to holiday island Bali. Ijen is less known than the more western located Bromo, but equally impressive and beautiful.

The official name is ” Ijen Trail Running “. There are 5 race categories at Ijen Ultra Trail of which 3 qualify for Asia Trail Master championship points: 100 km, 70km and 42km. The two longest distances are also valid for 1 point of each trail runner’s Grandmaster Quest.

The event is held on Ijen plateau, in Sempol, Bondowoso. The course passes by the picturesque Ijen volcano crater, the world’s largest highly acidic lake and isthe site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation in which sulfur-laden baskets are hand-carried from the crater floor.

Many other post-caldera cones and craters are located within the caldera or along its rim. The largest concentration of post-caldera cones forms an E-W-trending zone across the southern side of the caldera. Coffee plantations cover much of the Ijen caldera floor, and tourists are drawn to the waterfalls, hot springs, and dramatic volcanic scenery.
