13. Gorski tek na Nanos 2010
13th Nanos Mountain Race
Podnanos (Slovenia), Sunday 10 October 2010
Which way to Nanos?
The Nanos Mountain Race is a small uphill trail running event, held in October in south-western Slovenia, approximately 30 kilometres from the Italian port city of Trieste.
Start is in the village of Podnanos in the Vipava Valley, which is well-known for its delicate wines and the cultivation of fruits like apricots, peaches and cherries.
The route is quite challenging, and most participants hike considerable parts of the course as it includes almost 700 metres of vertical gain over a distance of 5.6 kilometres.
The route runs all the way along trails through lovely shady woods.
Finish is at 820 metres above sea level at a mountain hut on the massive Nanos Karst Plateau.
Lunch and the awards ceremony will take place at the finish.
You shouldn't miss the opportunity to go for a walk across the beautiful grassland on the plateau to enjoy the splendid views of the Karst region before you descend back to the valley.
In 2009, the winners were Mitja Kosovelj (28:46) and Katja Rakušček (39:50).
Lots of applause and cheers at the finish.
