We are going to Slovenia next June for a walking, climbing and running holiday. You are welcome to join us on this “Slovenia experience”.
The plans are in place for a week away (12th – 19th June) in the beautiful mountains of Slovenia. We plan to include a variety of activities including competing in a tough Trail race, attend a local Trail Running Festival, climb Slovenia’s highest mountain Triglev, stay in a mountain hut, experience WW1 ‘via ferrata’ and run in some great mountains.
The holiday plans include participating in the Pobrdo Trail Running Festival (15th-17th) which is based in a small village in the area. All the races start Saturday morning and some finish even on Sunday! The Trail running festival site is: http://www.gm4o.si/en.html
