The event in a few words
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia ๐ธ๐ฎ, beckons with its enchanting vibes ๐. Why not combine your two loves: travel โ๏ธ and running? ๐โโ๏ธ We invite you to the Ljubljana Marathon, an autumn heart-warmer ๐ in October, nestled in the neighborhood of Italy ๐ฎ๐น, Croatia ๐ญ๐ท, and Hungary ๐ญ๐บ.
Expect an energetic pace ๐คช amidst an urban and historic landscape, sprinkled with remarkable monuments ๐๏ธ. You'll kick off near the National Theatre and sprint to the finish line ๐ at Congress Square, home to the stunning former Provincial Parliament building, now the premise of the University of Ljubljana ๐ฉโ๐ซ, with the Slovenian Philharmonic ๐ถ close by. Just imagine! ๐ Ljubljana is rich in natural beauty ๐, nestled near the Alps โฐ๏ธ. Its strategic position has woven a tapestry of diverse dominions: Romans, Napoleon, and the Austrian Empire, making it a cultural melting pot ๐. Ljubljana is perfect for a stroll, whether you're crossing the Lovers' Bridge ๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ or exploring the National Museum of Slovenia ๐ค. For some tranquility ๐ด, Tivoli Park ๐ณ is your go-to, and if you're curious, don't miss the Ljubljana Castle ๐ฐ.
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! ๐ Find your perfect fit! The course forms a loop ๐ through the city center, offering a flat, easy, and fast route... ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ Now's the chance to outdo yourself and aim for a personal best! โฑ๏ธ 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! ๐
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 ๐. Nestled in the Triglav National Park, surrounded by majestic mountains ๐๏ธ, it's the perfect spot for some rejuvenation ๐งโโ๏ธ.
So, are you ready to take on the challenge and create unforgettable memories? ๐ฅฐ Just lace up your best running shoes and show us what YOU are made of! ๐
