Blacklake Xtreme Triathlon Montenegro

The mountains don’t care how strong you think you are.

They simply ask one question: How badly do you want it?

At Black Lake, every step demands determination, every climb tests your courage, and every finish becomes a story worth telling.

XTRI World Tour

Happy April 1st.

Today, everyone is making things up. We don’t have to. There is a race where:

- you swim between two cold mountain lakes
- you ride 180+ km with endless climbs and too-short moments to recover
- you finish with a marathon where you’ll need your hands to run

Except one thing: the pain is real.

WHO SAID IT’B EASY?

See you at BLACKLAKE.
(unfortunately, all of this is true)

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE:

If you experience any consequences from your spouse or partner (due to “disappearing”, “silence”, “smelling like sweat” or the classic “are you out of your mind?”), the BLACKLAKE team can issue an official excuse note.

Valid for BLACKOUT people only.
Everyone else, explain it at home. 😎

Great news to finish the year with a fantastic announcement!

After two years in which, due to a major landslide that occurred just before the 2024 event, the cycling course ran to Kolašin and back instead of being a single loop, we are more than happy to announce that the Mojkovac – Đurđevića Tara road section has now been reopened to traffic. The landslide has been fully resolved, and from next year we are proudly returning to the traditional BLACKLAKE cycling loop, one iconic lap, just the way it was meant to be!

P.S. Supporters, there is a great restaurant serving homemade pancakes right next to the Đurđevića Tara Bridge.

✔️ Project BLACKOUT is entering its 2nd phase!

RITUAL 2: STEALTH NINJA, time to disappear!

Tomorrow is International Ninja Day, and your mission is simple:
train, but make yourself nearly invisible. Seriously. On your photos we want to see only your eyes.
Hide the rest: buff, scarf, mask, beanie, whatever works.
If you look a bit suspicious outside, that’s perfect.

But that’s not all.

To honor the true BLACKOUT spirit, we want you to blend into the terrain. To disappear.
Use nature as your camouflage:
Disappear behind a tree, peek from behind a rock, melt into the bushes, hide next to a fence, blend with the shadows.
Goal: it should take us at least 5 seconds to find you in the photo.

Ritual rules remain the same:
- 1 hour of quiet, controlled intensity
- No music, no chatting, no noise
- Proof: trace file + video/photo showing only your “invisible” self

If your family says you look suspicious, tell them it’s an official requirement coming from Montenegro.
If neighbors stare, tell them you’re training for the darkest project of the year and that today is International Ninja day.

Get your buffs ready, sharpen the ninja stare and prepare to vanish.
Tomorrow, we disappear.
