The short course leaves the others early. At Balići, Intersection A, km 55.5, Istria135 turns off while the two longer courses continue; its cut-off there is 10:00, half an hour later than theirs. From there it reaches Brhaji, Intersection C, at km 88, which closes at 14:45, and Katun Trviški at km 99 by 15:30. A rider behind those times rides on in open traffic. The finish in Poreč closes at 19:05, the same as for the longer courses, which leaves the short course the most generous margin of the day.
The organiser’s feed-zone table lists Svetvinčenat at km 44 and Žminj at km 69.5 on this course. Istria135 is also the course long-course riders are redirected onto if they reach Balići after 09:30, so the group on it is not only those who planned to ride it.
This page belongs to Istria135 2026. With a Livebib link, family see the rider’s position on the course line, the distance covered and a finish estimate for Poreč that updates as the ride goes on. Anything estimated is marked as estimated. Where the phone loses signal the position is carried forward along the course rather than freezing on the map. The rider shares the link, and decides who gets it.
