For years, the 10 km Soča trail has been
the gateway to trail running.

It’s more than just an entry ticket — it’s a subscription to joy. Once you fall in love with running in nature, you’re hooked for life.

This trail run at I feel Slovenia Soča Outdoor Festival features around 200 meters of elevation and begins along the emerald Soča River, followed by meadows and a climb beneath the Tolmin Castle ruins. The route passes through the magical Tolmin Gorges, where many runners (the non-competitive ones!) stop for a photo or two, before continuing alongside the Tolminka River to the unique river crossing finish line.

Do you think this race sounds too easy?

The 15 km trail running race adds a climb to Kozlov Rob — the perfect next challenge in your Soča trail running journey.

The latest GPX tracks, together with the event guide, will be provided to the runners shortly before the event.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Until when can I register for the Soča trail?

Registrations for the I feel Slovenia Soča Outdoor Festival 2027 are open until June 15, 2027, or until the spots for a particular distance are filled.

Registration at the event will only be possible if there are free spots remaining. Information about this will be published during the week before the event on our Facebook and Instagram channels.

I cannot attend the event (injury, other reasons) – what are my options?

Cancellations are allowed in cases of health issues or pregnancy.

If the reason for cancellation is not health-related, paid entry fees will not be refunded.

You can find the rules and conditions regarding refunds on the registration page.

I am registered for a race, but I would like to change my running distance (shorter/longer). Can I do that?

Distance changes are possible until June 15, 2027, or as long as spots remain on the desired course. From June 1 until the end of the registration period (June 15, 2027), changes will be possible with an additional fee of €10.

Transfers are managed within your personal account. Access to your account was provided in your registration confirmation email. Once inside, you will see the option “Transfer to another person.”

The difference in registration fees will be calculated automatically. If additional payment is required, a payment request will be added to your shopping cart. The change will only be confirmed after payment. Please note: if you switch to a shorter distance, the difference will not be refunded.

I would like to transfer my registration to another runner. Is this possible?

Runner transfers are possible only until June 15, 2027. From June 1 until the end of the registration period (June 15, 2027), transfers are possible with an additional fee of €10.

Transfers are managed within your personal account. Access to your account was provided in your registration confirmation email. Once inside, you will see the option “Transfer to another person.”

The new runner will receive an invitation to register. Once they complete registration (after June 1, an additional €10 fee applies), the original registration will be canceled.

Please respect fellow runners and officially process any transfers. If someone runs with your race number without an official transfer, they will be disqualified. Such cases can affect age category eligibility and violate fair play rules.
