Mountain running competitions

The largest mountain running competition in Slovenia is the Julian Alps Trail Run, whose routes join and connect different places within the Julian Alps.

Also organised in Slovenia is the Alpe Adria Trail Cup, which in addition to the Julian Alps Trail Run consists of the Soča Outdoor Run and the Vipava Trail Run competitions. All three attract many international participants, as taking part in the events and good results bring priority points for participation in the largest European mountain runs.
