VTISI UDELEŽENCEV

The nature, trails and views are breathtaking 😀 it was the perfect choice for my 1st 100 miler. Also organized very well and the volunteers were very helpful as well.

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!

From the day I entered in South Africa, Bostjan was available to communicate via telephone regarding payment options, all went smoothly, registration was festive as well as the start of the 52km. The route was technical, but do able, I will even brave Nanos again, but o my word that last 2kms! I would have loved that to be a gravel road. Having said all that, I will be back next year in a heart beat and this time with hiking poles.

Thank you for this amazing event; the organisation was excellent and the staff was very friendly and professional. I loved my experience. You guys rock!!!

I wanted to thank you for everything and congratulate you on your beautiful and demanding race. The long night hours of this period require strong willpower. Congratulations also to all the volunteers, for their kindness and availability. Eating pizza had never happened to me, or steaks! When you feel good it’s great, you feel like you are on a trip and not a race. I came home full of experience and good feelings, and this is a great gift. Thank you with all my heart.

31:13 Stunden für 163km, 6700hm – super Organisation, extrem freundliche Helfer und eine ganz persönliche, liebevolle Betreuung.

Hvala za še eno lepo zgodbo, odlično organizacijo, sploh v času covid blaznosti. Za najlepše vreme, ki je bilo tako prav zaradi pozitive pri vseh, ki se trudite, da je UTVV to kar je. Najboljši! Hvala vsem prostovoljcem na okrepčevalnicah in na trasi.

I dalje sam pod dojmom onog što sam jučer doživio, doduše večina ljudi misli da se tu radi o kilometrima, dužini rute, usponu, itd., no to je samo jedan djelić svega. Toliko susretljivosti među ljudima nikad nisam doživio i time sam oduševljen. Svaki puta kada bi pored nekoga prošli, čulo bi se “Bravo!”, “Sretno” i slično, no moram priznati da mi je bila sjajna i vrlo poticajna jedna izjava neke bakice “Ajde, ajde, još malo…”, a pred nama još 34 km . O ulasku u cilj da ne pričam! Vjerojatno sam fasciniran tim kolektivnim pozitivnim okruženjem jer je to u današnje vrijeme gotovo utopija. Sve u svemu; odlično iskustvo, prekrasni ljudi, fascinantni krajolici i samo 8 sati za intenzivno razmišljanje

Questo fine settima ero in trasferta in Slovenia a farmi un giretto sulla UTVV Emperor. Un altro bel regalo insieme a Massimo, e premio di categoria Gara impegnativa, senza sconti, una sfida, anche per i lunghi tratti notturni. Ristori carichi di entusiasmo. In piena notte, nel bosco, trovare musica e  animazione contagiosa; la pizza al castello, le bistecche! Che mangiate! E complimenti

agli organizzatori, tanta passione.

The people, the nature with the beautiful trails, the organization with their volunteers…. they create an unique atmosphere during the whole event..! Love to go back again ❤️ Thanks and greetings!

Awesome race, awesome places, the nature, the mountains… so everything. The UTVV staff were also amazing. Thanks for the smiles 

I ran the 50k as my first ultra and I couldn’t ask for a better race for it to be my first. The organisation of the race was one of if not the best I’ve seen, all the way from buying entry to post race. The volunteers were great – from the Roman soldiers and cheer leaders to all the people manning the aid stations made the experience even better. In terms of the 50k route, it was a beautiful route, consisting of mostly trails with some road. Big thanks to everyone that contributed to making it a great race!

When I accidentally stumbled upon the promotional video, I knew it was a race I wanted to do. I’ve visited Slovenia a number of times in the past, and I thought this would be a cool way to experience this beautiful region. I was not let down! I throughly enjoyed the race, it was well organized, well marked beautiful course, fantastic volunteers! I experienced so much kindness and beauty! When I was on top of Nanos, I had to stop for a few minutes as I was in total awe! I didn’t end up “racing”, instead, I took my sweet time and took lots of photos that will remind me of wonderful memories. I would most definitely recommend this race to any of my friends! From the bottom of my heart, all I can say is hvala, hvala, hvala!

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.

Čestitam vsem ostalim, ki so prišli preizkušati svoje meje na katero od prog. In čestitke

organizatorju, ki jim je uspel veličasten dogodek. Proga ni lahka. Je pravi test za raziskovanje lastnih meja.

Tako sem v zgodnjem mrzlem sobotnem jutru za trening najprej zagrizel v tekmovalno UTVV traso čez Nanos, jo po 40 kilometrskem sedem urnem navijanju ter vzpodbujanju tekmovalcev sklenil v Vipavi in dan v ciljni ravnini pobirajoč GPS sledilnike tekmovalcev s 100 miljske in 100 kilometrske proge zaključil v nedeljo ob eni uri zjutraj. Moj prispevek k tekmi je bil sicer skromen, a tudi to delo mora nekdo opraviti.

S tem sem končno dobil priložnost videti tekmo tudi z “druge” strani, se sproščeno spočit podružiti z organizatorji, navijači, tekmovalci in iz srca iskreno čestitati tekačem ob prihodu v cilj – biti priča njihovemu veselju je bilo nekaj neprecenljivega. Sploh zato, ker iz lastnih izkušenj točno vem, kaj človek občuti, ko z lastnimi nogami premaga komajda predstavljive razdalje in se pri tem naužije vseh čudežnih lepot narave ob poti!

ULTRA TRAIL VIPAVA VALLEY SLOVENIA

165KM pour 7000mD+

Vendredi Matin Je regarde les amis du PC course et je leur dis j’en fais des Counneries mais celle la est la plus grosse que j’accepte comme Challenge et eux tout de suite n’ont que des mots qui me touchent:

1. C’est que dans la tête, c’est juste un voyage
2. Tu découvriras notre belle vallée de VIPAVA
3. Tu t’arrêtes quand tu auras envie mais n’oublie pas de regarder autour de Toi et les étoiles au dessus de Toi

Entre nous j’arrive ici et je me rends compte que je fais vraiment parti de la minorité visible , j’appréhende un peu .

Purée l’UTVV sera ma plus belle course, la course parfaite sans préparation, toute une région mobilisée pour moi, mon nom sur les route, des gamins pour m’accompagner après les CPs et a 2h du matin des fois, des mères de famille venir me récupérer à 2 km des CPs pour que je passe les foutus BH, je la passe la dernière à 1min prêt au 140KM.

Purée il y’a une humanité sur cette terre et c’est là que je prendrai toute mes forces. Mon nom sur le sol, j’ai jamais vécu ça. Purée par ma Counnerie si j’ai fait rêver ses gamins a courir un jour, putainnnnnn je peux mourrir tranquille , mais le plus tard possible .

UTVV vous aurez été ma plus belle leçon de vie

Merci pour les échanges, les moments de fous rires, vous êtes au Top. Vous méritez bien le Salomon Golden Trail series. On croise les doigts pour les UTMB Series
