TESTIMONIALS
Super well organized! Lots of restore points, beautiful landscapes. The 106km race goes through muontains, valleys, wine yards, on single tracks and just a minimum part on tarmac, great volunteers cheering you up calling your name! Do it!!
Awesome race, awesome places, the nature, the mountains… so everything. The UTVV staff were also amazing. Thanks for the smiles 
A couple of days ago, 100km was just a number in my head… Thanks to YOU, dear volunteers and organizers, it is now the most testing activity I’ve done in my life. You were so friendly, kind and helpful along the course. Words are powerless to express my gratitude.
Perfect marking, amazing nature, technical race (at least for me).
Come on people, try it!
Excellent and highly recommended trail race! The scenery is gorgeous, the volunteers were very kind and helpful, the food was varied and often homemade (the cakes and Nutella crepes were 👌), and I enjoyed the best massages at the halfway point and the end. There are showers & a sleeping room at the finish. Easily accessible from Ljubljana (bus from main bus station) or Trieste.
