Ormož (Slovenia), Saturday 24 June 2017
The Ormoški nočni ulični tek (Ormož Night Street Run) in Slovenia invites runners from near and far to gallop through the town centre of Ormož, a small town of around 2,100 people, situated in a lovely wine-producing region on the border with Croatia.
With just about 100 participants it's a small running event, but over the years it has attracted many elite athletes from Slovenia and from neighbouring countries as well.
Last year, Lívia Tóth of Hungary won the 4.2km women's race in a time of 15 minutes 17 seconds. Matej Šturm of Slovenia was the fastest finisher in the 4.8km men's race in 15 minutes 2 seconds.
These are the races available:
| Start time |
Race distance | Category | No. of finishers 2016 |

Women run seven laps and men run eight laps of a 600m-long loop course.
The start and the finish are on the main square, Kerenčičev trg, which is home to a statue of Jože Kerenčič, a writer, activist of the Liberation Front and national hero who was born near Ormož in 1913 and executed by the Nazis in 1941, at the age of 28.
The event is held every year on the eve of the Slovene Statehood Day, which is celebrated on 25 June to commemorate Slovenia's declaration of independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.
The race organizers do not charge any registration fees.
