NLB Ljubljana Marathon 2025

Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia 🇸🇮, beckons with its enchanting vibes 😍. Why not combine your two loves: travel ✈️ and running? 🏃‍♂️ We invite you to the Ljubljana Marathon, an autumn heart-warmer 🍂 in October, nestled in the neighborhood of Italy 🇮🇹, Croatia 🇭🇷, and Hungary 🇭🇺.

Expect an energetic pace 🤪 amidst an urban and historic landscape, sprinkled with remarkable monuments 🏛️. You'll kick off near the National Theatre and sprint to the finish line 🏁 at Congress Square, home to the stunning former Provincial Parliament building, now the premise of the University of Ljubljana 👩‍🏫, with the Slovenian Philharmonic 🎶 close by. Just imagine! 😏 Ljubljana is rich in natural beauty 🍃, nestled near the Alps ⛰️. Its strategic position has woven a tapestry of diverse dominions: Romans, Napoleon, and the Austrian Empire, making it a cultural melting pot 🌍. Ljubljana is perfect for a stroll, whether you're crossing the Lovers' Bridge 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 or exploring the National Museum of Slovenia 🤓. For some tranquility 😴, Tivoli Park 🌳 is your go-to, and if you're curious, don't miss the Ljubljana Castle 🏰.

But wait, what to expect during the race? Well, there's something for every runner with a 10 km race, a half-marathon, and even a marathon! 👏 Find your perfect fit! The course forms a loop 🔁 through the city center, offering a flat, easy, and fast route... 🏃‍♀️💨 Now's the chance to outdo yourself and aim for a personal best! ⏱️ Unbeaten since 2023 and 2018 respectively, Ethiopian runners Zinas Gerado Senbeta (2 hours, 21 minutes, and 5 seconds) and Sisay Lemma (2 hours, 4 minutes, and 58 seconds) lead the charts. If you're well-prepared, maybe you could challenge one of these records! 🏆

If you're itching to explore beyond the city, the Slovenia has more gems to offer. Just a 30-min drive from the capital, you'll find the serene Lake Bled, leading to the splendid Bohinj Valley, home to the exquisite Lake Bohinj 👌. Nestled in the Triglav National Park, surrounded by majestic mountains 🏔️, it's the perfect spot for some rejuvenation 🧘‍♂️.

So, are you ready to take on the challenge and create unforgettable memories? 🥰 Just lace up your best running shoes and show us what YOU are made of! 😉
