NEXT GEN 10K
Trail running is booming among young people, so this year we’ve introduced a dedicated course. The NEW NEXT GEN 10K (ages 10–18) offers the perfect first step into competitive trail running.
Route description
The 10 km trail, equally dynamic as in previous years, is perfect for young runners aged 10 to 18 who are entering the world of trail running and looking for their first competitive experience. It begins at a separate start location, where runners head out onto soft forest paths that offer a safe yet playful introduction to trail running.
The route follows the edge of Triglav National Park and consists mostly of wide forest tracks that, despite their simplicity, give a true mountain-trail feel and offer beautiful views of the surrounding peaks. Starting in the centre of Kranjska Gora, the trail first leads you to the Pišnica River and then along the stunning Lake Jasna, where the views open up and create a perfect running atmosphere.
From the lake, the terrain begins to rise gently toward the highest point of the course. The path takes you through the forests of Tofov graben, before continuing toward Gozd Martuljek. The final section is relatively flat but offers breathtaking mountain views all the way to the finish line.
The terrain is easy – a mix of road, forest tracks and short single-trail segments that together create an enjoyable trail experience tailored to young runners.
Runners, when planning to check out the route, please make sure you’re only using marked paths and are mindful of warning signs about wood harvesting. Be careful when crossing pastures and be mindful about animals’ behaviour. Always keep your dogs leashed when crossing such areas. Make sure the only print you leave on the trails is the one coming from your shoes. Pick up your trash and always carry poop bags for your dogs.
