About This Race
The 15K provides an ideal progression from the introductory 10K, extending the alpine experience with additional technical terrain while remaining accessible to developing trail runners. This distance allows runners to experience more varied elevation changes and forest single track without the commitment required for the longer mountain distances. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for runners building toward their first mountain trail challenge or those seeking a spirited workout amid Slovenia's pristine alpine landscapes.
Notable Features
As Slovenia's only UTMB World Series event, the Julian Alps Trail Run offers runners the rare opportunity to earn UTMB qualifying points while experiencing the pristine wilderness of Triglav National Park. The race uniquely combines Slovenia's most iconic landmarks including Lake Bled's fairy-tale setting with challenging alpine terrain, creating what organizers describe as 'a scene from a postcard' throughout the entire running experience.
