Joyful December is here, and with it comes not just a festive atmosphere, but also the start of registrations for our legendary running event at Sotočje! Until the end of the year (31.12.2023), 600 more registration slots with lower prices await you. Besides saving money, there’s another good reason for a quick decision: you will have a full seven months to prepare. Running during a time when we all tend to eat and drink a bit too much won’t hurt anyone… And there we have our first New Year’s resolution.
Beginners, no more excuses! We added a 5 km run.
True, ten kilometers up and down and around is a lot for a complete beginner. But five kilometers – hey, you can manage that! Especially if you take advantage of early registration and start training right now. The route will lead from Sotočje along the Soča River, then across the fields towards Tolmin, and the finish with crossing Tolminka will be just as refreshing as in other runs. Sunday, 30th June 2024, will be a day for great victories 😉
New category: Vertical
Join us for the Vertical run, a challenge that exceeds the ordinary running experience. You will conquer 1000 meters of elevation over a five-kilometer distance. This unique challenge takes you from Volče to Kolovrat, with a steep ascent that tests both your strength and will.
Fancy the climb to Kolovrat, but don’t want to suffer on the run the next day? We have a solution: separate scoring for Vertical and 15/25-kilometer distances, with a cheaper registration fee and special prizes. Sound fair? Fair!
Gift an experience (and a kick in the butt)
For encouragement, we are sharing a story from this year (SOF 2024): a friend, let’s call him Janez, used to run a lot and enjoyed it. But then work, overtime, and post-work fatigue (or laziness, however you see it) took over. Janez received a registration for the Soča Outdoor Festival for his birthday, chose the 15-kilometer distance, and guess what, started training. The registration was a good enough kick in the butt for him to train and achieve a very respectable result. At the finish, he was thrilled: “This was the best gift I have ever received. I’m running again, I’m breathing again.”
For all who think your friend would be happy with a similar gift, we have prepared gift vouchers. Let others bring socks, wine, and chocolate.
