Stojan Hadji Jevtimov
Mountain and MTB guide, trail builder and the owner of Outdoor Adventure Macedonia. In the bike press his name is also written Stojan Hadjijevtimov.
Trails he built
Stojan is a mountain biker who builds the trails he rides. He helped build the Adrenaline Trail on Vodno above Skopje, and he worked on the Cross Border Adventure Biking Trails, an EU-supported project that created new bike trails in the border region with Albania. He also worked on the project behind the High Scardus Trail, the long-distance trail from Shar Mountain to Lake Ohrid.
In the bike press
He guided an attempt to ride the whole High Scardus Trail by mountain bike. The story ran in BIKE magazine in Germany in 2025, and in 2026 in Singletrack in the UK and Mountain Bike Action in the USA. He also guided the team of the New Zealand magazine Spoke on a ride through North Macedonia and Albania, published in 2024.
Training new mountain guides
Stojan is a licensed and experienced mountain guide, and he trains the next generation. He taught at the mountain sports federation's refresher course for guides in 2017 and at its winter course in 2019, where he covered building a bivouac, ice axe and crampons, anchors and avalanche gear. He was an instructor and coordinator of the 2022 guide training and mentors trainee guides. In 2025 he became chair of the federation's Commission for Mountaineering Techniques, and he is a full member of the training commission of the UIAA, the international mountaineering federation.
On skis and on rock
In early 2025 he won the men's race at the first sprint of the Macedonian ski touring cup, on Shar Mountain above the Skardus hut. As a climber he was one of three who opened about 100 sport climbing routes in Bislim Gorge (Bislimska Klisura) in 2020, among them Virus and Cooperation.
