Ormož (Slovenia), Wednesday 24 June 2015

The Ormoški nočni ulični tek (‘Ormož Night Street Run’) 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.

Women run five laps (4km) and men run six laps (4.8km) of an undulating course through the town centre of Ormož, a small town of about 2,150 people, situated on the River Drava in the eastern part of the country, right on the border with Croatia.

Over the years, the event has attracted a good number of top runners.

In 2014, Hungary's international elite distance runner Anikó Kálovics won the women's race in a time of 13min 35sec. The fastest male finisher, Elisha Kiprotich Sawe of Kenya, crossed the line after 14min 27sec.

The race begins and ends on the main square of Ormož.
