Ilirska Bistrica (Slovenia), Saturday 4 June 2016

Participants in the Bistrški tek run 10 kilometres on gravel roads through pine forests and beautiful open grassland in Slovenia's Notranjska (Inner Carniola) region, a densely-wooded region that is best known for its gigantic karst caves.

The race begins and ends at the Črne Njive bar in the forested hills above the town of Ilirska Bistrica which lies on the road from Slovenia's capital Ljubljana to the port of Rijeka in Croatia.

The route is very challenging as it climbs approximately 150 metres over the first four kilometres. After that, it's mostly downhill.

Last year, 95 runners took part in the race. The fastest finishers were Emil Pašič (37:14) and Sergeja Lipušček (43:00).
