The 30 km trail race takes you into the heart of Triglav National Park.

The 30 km trail run in Soča Valley takes you straight into the wild embrace of the Triglav National Park — Slovenia’s only national park. This is where trail running in Soča Valley becomes pure alpine magic. With over 1,000 meters of elevation gain, it’s no Sunday jog — it’s your first true mountain trail test.

You’ll climb Kozlov Rob, pass the Mengore Chapel viewpoint, and reach Senica, where the aid station sits next to one of the most breathtaking views of the Soča River trail. Take a second, breathe it in — that’s the kind of trail running race you’ll tell your grandkids about.

We won’t blame you if you fall in love with this route and come back to hike it at a slower pace. But on race day, let your legs dance with the mountains.

This is Soča outdoor at its best!

Runners will receive the latest GPX files together with the race guide shortly before the event.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Until when can I register for the Soča trail?

Registrations for the 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?

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

Cancellations are allowed in cases of health issues or pregnancy.

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.

I would like to register a group of runners. What is the procedure?

The minimum number of participants for a group registration is 5. Participants may run different distances. Special discounts apply to groups:

5 to 15 runners: 10% discount on the registration fee.
16 or more runners: 15% discount on the registration fee.

To receive the discount, please send us the group name, a list of runners, and their selected routes at info@soca-outdoor.com.
