Question 1

Is there a mandatory kit check for the Julian Alps Trail Run?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as a UTMB World Series event, mandatory gear (waterproof jacket, space blanket, whistle, etc.) is strictly checked at bib collection and potentially at random during the race.

Question 2

How do I get to the start line for the 60km or 100km races?

Accepted Answer

For races starting outside Kranjska Gora (like the 60km in Žirovnica or 100km in Radovljica), the organisers provide dedicated shuttle buses from the central bus station in Kranjska Gora. You must book these in advance via your runner profile.

Question 3

What is the terrain like on the Julian Alps courses?

Accepted Answer

Expect technical limestone trails, steep forest climbs, and exposed ridgelines. The descents can be rocky and slippery if wet, so shoes with aggressive lugs (5mm+) are highly recommended.

Question 4

Are trekking poles allowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, poles are allowed and highly recommended due to the significant vertical gain. You must carry them with you from start to finish if you choose to use them.

Question 5

Where is the bib collection located?

Accepted Answer

Bib collection typically takes place at the Vitranc Hall (Sportna dvorana Vitranc) in the centre of Kranjska Gora, starting two days before the main events.

Question 6

Are there cut-off times?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each check-point has a strict cut-off time based on the race start. These are published in the official runner's guide and are strictly enforced for safety reasons.
