Alpine Marathon Podbrdo - Slovenia, 16. 06. 2012

For 10 years

Podbrdo Slovenia

already the small village of Podbrdo is

organising the spectacular GM4O

Alpine Marathon.

The idea was understood as quite crazy one on the very beginning and there were many doubts about its future. But great enthusiasm of the numerous local people involved in the organisation and excellent experience and response of the participants have made it one of the most important and admired sport events of the area. The race was a great success in the first year already and has been growing strong ever since. The 10th

GM4O Alpine Marathon expected on 18th June 2011 was crowned with a privilege being also 8th WMRA

World Long Distance Mountain Running Challenge.

»I know how difficult the challenge is as you prepare for this spectacular marathon. I did it last year, although I had no idea beforehand what a test it would be. It was probably the toughest physical challenge I have ever taken on in my life! But as we all know the best things in life often come only with great effort. And, indeed, the marathon covers some of the most beautiful terrain of Slovenia. One thing is indisputable: the entire experience was unforgettable!«
