The Rekord Šmarne gore (Šmarna gora Record) is a mountain running race in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana.

It features a short but highly demanding uphill course.

The route is just 1.85 kilometres long but it includes 360 metres of elevation gain!

Starting in Tacen in the north-western part of Ljubljana, competitors run on steep forest trails to the finish line at the monastery that stands on top of Šmarna gora (669m), Slovenia's most popular hiking destination.

World-class mountain runners hold the course records: Filimon Abraham of Germany (10 minutes 59 seconds) and Andrea Mayr of Austria (12 minutes 36 seconds).
