Julian Alps Trail Run course maps and aid stations

You start at 9 PM on Friday in the old town of Radovljica and climb in the dark toward Jelovica and Babji zob, then drop to Lake Bled at 43 km. From Žirovnica the big climb begins, up to the Prešernova hut on Stol. The race calls Stol the highest peak in the Karawanks. From there you follow the ridge over Golica and Klek, descend to Mojstrana, and climb once more to Srednji vrh before the drop into Kranjska Gora.

Your transition bag waits at Žirovnica, which also serves a hot stew. Stol is a mountain hut, so its aid station has water, energy drinks, Coca-Cola and dry food but nothing warm, though you can buy hot food inside. Between Stol and Dovje there's only Sedlo Suha in nearly 30 km of ridge and descent.

The 80K starts at Mala Zaka on Lake Bled at 8 AM on Saturday and runs through Vintgar Gorge to Žirovnica. From there it's about 1,700 meters of climbing toward Stol. Then comes almost 30 km of ridge trail past Golica toward Klek, before you drop into the Upper Sava Valley. The last climb is Srednji vrh, and the final 5 km is downhill to the finish.

The race calls it 80K, though the 2026 aid station chart puts the finish at 79.2 km. Women on the 80K and 120K can ask for an extra bag at Sedlo Suha, where there's also a private changing area.

The 50K starts at Lake Završnica, in the valley above Žirovnica, and climbs past Valvasorjev dom to the Karawanks ridge, its high point. It follows the ridge to Golica and Klek, drops to Mojstrana and climbs Srednji vrh before the run into Kranjska Gora. The race says you'll see the Julian Alps and Triglav, and the mountains and valleys of Austria.

It starts in two waves, at 8:00 and 9:30 on Friday. The cutoffs here are wave 1's: wave 2's are 90 minutes later, with a 23:00 finish. There's no parking at the start, so take the race bus or get dropped off and walk about 2.5 km.

The 25K starts in two waves at 8:00 and 8:15 on Sunday and follows the 15K out to Lake Jasna and on toward Gozd Martuljek. From there you climb to Srednji vrh for the view of the Julian Alps. The second half goes to the village of Podkoren, the last aid station, and finishes with a climb below Vitranc and the descent into town. The finish cutoff is 14:00 for wave 1 and 14:15 for wave 2.

The 15K measures 17.3 km on the aid station chart. It runs the same way as the 10K at first: along the Pišnica river, past Lake Jasna and through the Tofov graben forest. Where the 10K turns for home, you carry on to Gozd Martuljek, cross the main road under the bridge and climb Srednji vrh past the lower Jerman waterfall. The organizer calls it easy, with no technical sections. Wave 1 starts at 10:40 and wave 2 at 10:45.

The 10K is meant for runners still getting to know trail running: 11 km, mostly on wide cart tracks, with some road and singletrack. It goes along the Pišnica river, past Lake Jasna and through the Tofov graben forest, staying on the edge of Triglav National Park, and comes back along a flat stretch with Špik in view. It starts at 11:40 on Sunday, with three hours to finish.
