PATH DESCRIPTION

CLICK FOR DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Legionar – UTVV 30km course starts from Ajdovščina and passes the spring of the Hubelj River, before making a steep ascent to the top of Podrta Gora (825m) – the 1st aid station, where the route joins the other longer distances and provides runners with stunning views of the Vipava Valley along the 15-kilometer ridge of Angelska Gora (the 2nd aid station in Otlica). After reaching the 3rd aid station, Mala Gora, the Legionar route veers towards the valley and descends 1,000 meters to Lokavec. From there, it continues for another 5 flat kilometres along paved paths next to the Lokavšček stream to the finish line in Ajdovščina.

The UTVV ultramarathon challenge takes place in the valley where one of the most important battles of the late Roman period occurred. This battle, known as the Battle of the Frigidus, happened in 394. It was fought between the army of the Eastern Emperor Theodosius I and the army of the Western Roman ruler Eugenius. Theodosius’ victory united the Roman Empire under one emperor for the last time in history and solidified the dominance of Christianity in Europe.

Legionar, 30km

What a great race!
My girlfriend and I ran the 25K and had a wonderful time. The course is challenging but very well marked and offers great views. There are plenty of aid stations with a good variety of drinks and snacks.
To top it all off, we got a bottle of wine and a t-shirt when we picked up our race packets.
I would definitely run this race again.
