18-19 October 2025
Just about every runner in Slovenia appears to be on the streets of Ljubljana for the annual Ljubljanski maraton.
Held over a weekend in late October, the event attracts a crowd of over 20,000 athletes of all ages—an enormous number for a city of about 290,000 residents.
The kids races take place on Saturday, the 10k race, the half marathon and the marathon on Sunday.
Starting and finishing in the city centre, all three Sunday races feature a certified and mainly flat single-loop course.
The 10k takes the runners around Rožnik, a hill that rises to the west of the city centre.
Participants in the half marathon run through northern portions of the city and then around Rožnik.
The marathon route also visits southern and eastern districts.
The routes of the half and the full marathon split shortly after the 20km mark.
The finish line for all races is on Kongresni trg (Congress Square) in Ljubljana's beautiful Old Town.
