Held annually on Slovenia's Independence and Unity Day on 26 December, this Novoletni tek (New Year's Run) attracts around 250 runners to the village of Dolsko which is situated in the Sava River Valley near the city of Ljubljana.

The event offers three road races (4.5km, 10.5km, and 14.5km) and two shorter races for children (300m and 500m).

The 4.5km race is a relatively flat out-and-back run in the valley whereas the 10.5km and 14.5km routes include about 150m of ascent (and 150m of descent).

The 10.5km race begins at the 4km mark of the 14.5km race.
