Welcome to the 3rd Karst Hills Trail!

Dear running enthusiasts!

Karst slopes which will be happening on the 1st of March 2026. We invite you to take part in the run and support our organization - Športno rekreativno društvo Kras-Run for life.

What will you get out of it? 

Besides well known finisher medals, cups for the absolute best and medals for the top three in each category, you will definitely be amazed by the awakening nature, kind hosts, good food and socializing with fellow runners. You will return home with a new adventure under your belt, new acquaintances and hopefully a lot of contentment. After the run, there will be socialising with other runners and an entertainment program.

Sign-ups, timing at the run and fast processing of results will be taken care of by team Protime.

See you on the KARST SLOPES!🙂
