KOF running meet-ups in collaboration with Sport Vision and Salomon
Dear trail running community and everyone who feels drawn to explore forest trails. In collaboration with Sport Vision and Salomon, we are organizing three running meet-ups where we will combine training, share practical knowledge, and enjoy relaxed social time together.
Dates and Locations:
March 14, 2026, at 9:00 AM – Ljubljana
April 19, 2026, at 9:30 AM – Ljubljana
May 16, 2026, at 9:00 AM – Kočevje
📍 Location for the first and second meet-ups: Mesarska cesta 4f, Ljubljana (KinVital Kinesiology Center)
The location for the third meet-up will be announced in due time — all registered participants will also receive the details via email.
At the second meet-up, we will also be joined by runners from the Runs’n Coffee running club.
How will the running meet-ups take place?
The meet-ups are free of charge and designed so that both beginners and experienced trail runners can join. They will be organized into three difficulty groups:
- 5 km
- 8–10 km
- 15–18 km
- 25 km
The routes will lead along forest paths and trails, where we will experience in practice the differences between road and trail running and test how the body responds to varied terrain.
After the run, we will provide light refreshments at the starting location to replenish energy and spend some more time socializing.
Prize draw
At each meet-up, we will also organize a prize draw with practical prizes provided by Kočevsko Outdoor Festival and partners Sport Vision and Salomon.
Salomon shoe testing
All participants will have the opportunity to borrow Salomon footwear and test their models.
Registration and additional information
Participation is free of charge; however, registration is mandatory for organizational purposes. You may register for one, two, or all three meet-ups. The number of participants is limited to 60 per event. All registered participants will receive additional information by email one or two days before the meet-up.
For any questions, you can contact us at: kocevsko@trailrun.si.
See you on the trails!
Here is also the official footwear of this year’s festival:
Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX is a legendary trail running shoe known for its exceptional grip, stability, and reliability on challenging terrain. Its aggressive outsole provides excellent traction on mud, forest trails, and technical paths, while still offering solid support and comfort for longer runs. That’s why Speedcross 6 GTX is an ideal choice for runners who enjoy leaving paved roads behind and exploring the wild outdoors.
