The start and the finish are at the Terme Krka spa complex in the village of Šmarješke Toplice which is situated amid the rolling hills of the Dolenjska region, about halfway between the cities of Ljubljana and Zagreb.
The main race of the day is the 8k. It features an undulating loop course through lovely woods and parkland, mainly on forest trails and gravel roads. Just about one kilometre is on asphalt.
Participants get free entry to the outdoor pools of Terme Krka to ease the legs after the run:
