100 Vipava Valley Ultra Trail. Why? It’s simple, I love these places (and, of course, long hours of running along mountain trails). It is true that I have not run along Vipava valley or across the surrounding hills, but I have been biking, climbing (excellent crags), and also hiking. Not to mention the friendly locals with whom one can easily make real friendship! For me Vipava valley represents the wind and sun, two powerful forces. I am looking forward to the beginning of May and a new adventure!

As an athlete and a coach, I always say that it is necessary to train outside the beaten tracks. I still like to come back to the home ends. Vipava Valley is ideal for athletes - runners, cyclists - with the ideal training conditions in all seasons.

I look forward hiking around Vipava Valley in May. First, because Subokrins, Romans, Huns and Slavs walked along these routes, long before us and lived their stories. Next, because it is a fantastic landscape, which calls for embracing it with the echo of steps, adding own stories and pouring drops of sweat. And finally, because it is one of the first organized mountain ultra runs in Slovenia. I’m sure it will offer a memorable trip, with forces that can alter individuals and deepen the relationship with valley, its routes and also with self.
