| Description | The race starts in front of a mountain hut on a mountain pass Petrovo Brdo (803 metres above sea level). The first 10 kilometres the track follow the Slovene mountain trail and after the first few kilometres the track reaches Kovce, a mountain plateau, which lies 1230 metres above sea level. In the continuation, the participants follow a nice alpine-runner friendly path, cross Vrh Bače pass (1270 metres above sea level) and run up to Kobla (1490 metres above sea level). After that ascent, the track sweeps gently to Kal, an alpine pasture at 1362 metres above sea level, where another sharp ascent begins and takes the runners to the highest point of the marathon, Čez Suho saddle (1760 metres above sea level), situated just below the summit of Črna prst. The highest point is also an intro to the longest descent (950 metres of height difference) down a marked mountain path over Kalarsko brdo saddle (985 metres above sea level) to Kal, a village at 817 metres above sea level. The participants then follow a nice hunter's path and later a kilometre of an asphalt road before they reach a small village Znojile. A three-kilometre-run over a nice easy ground brings the runners to Obloke, a village at 620 metres above sea level, and later to another village Hudajužna, the lowest point of the marathon (361 metres above sea level). It is of course only logical that from this point onwards the runners are faced with nothing but another long (6.5 kilometres) and steep ascent (1230 metres of height difference), which takes them past lonely farms to the alpine hut just under the top of Porezen (1636 metres above sea level). The runners who have already participated in the marathon named this part of the course “the hour of truth”, so it is no wonder that on this toughest ascent there are five refreshment stops and a doctor. Once reaching Porezen, the last part of the track takes the participants down over Trtnik pastures and past an alpine farm to the finish – Podbrdo. |
