Join Ultra Trail Vipava Valley Slovenia 2027
RUNNERS, GET READY FOR VIPAVA VALLEY,
A stunning Slovenian landscape, where the Alpine, Karst, and Mediterranean worlds collide. This valley, rich in history, was once the site of a legendary Roman battle in 394, where West Frankish commander Arbogast faced off against Roman Emperor Theodosius I.
Centurion is changing. In 2027, the distance moves from 110 km to 100 km. A little shorter on paper, but still every bit the Centurion challenge. Same trails. Same spirit. A new chapter. This race is a truly heroic and unforgettable trail-running adventure, one of the most magical in Slovenia and the wider region.
Experience running through medieval villages, alongside ancient castles and monasteries, and among rolling vineyards. Conquer the hills and take in the awe-inspiring views stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Challenge yourself and embrace the spirit of a Roman warrior!
