24th ‘Osolnik Mountain Race’ 2015
Godešič (Slovenia), Sunday 17 May 2015
Staged in the wooded hills between Slovenia's capital Ljubljana and the Julian Alps, the Gorski tek na Osolnik is one of Slovenia's most prestigious and atmospheric mountain running events.
With 525m of ascent over a 4.7km route the race is a true test for every runner.
The route begins in the village of Godešič, which is approximately 20km from Ljubljana and just about 4km from the picturesque old town of Škofja Loka.
The first part of the race is a flat run on asphalt roads but then comes a 3km-long steep climb on forest trails to the finish line on the summit of Osolnik (858m), a densely wooded hill with a church on top.
Every year, the event attracts a number of Slovenia's best mountain runners. In 2014, the fastest finishers were Simon Alič (25:05) and Lea Einfalt (30:23).
