Is anyone ever truly ready for a
25 km trail race?

Trail legends say this distance matches the challenge of a road marathon. The I feel Slovenia Soča Outdoor Festival 25 km trail race packs over 800 meters of elevation, two scenic climbs, and enough adventure to keep your heart (and legs) pumping.

From the ruins of Tolmin Castle to the viewpoint at Mengore, every step along this trail running race brings a new view — the Julian Alps, lush meadows, and deep limestone gorges carved by the Tolminka River. By the time you splash through the Tolminka just before the finish, you’ll understand why trail running in Soča Valley isn’t just a race. It’s an experience, a mindset, and a memory you’ll carry forever.

Once your body is ready, all that
effort turns into pure joy.

Long-distance running is a long-term investment. The moment you step into the Tolminka Stream just before the finish after 25 kilometres is one you’ll carry with you forever.
