The running challenge begins at the Kayak Center in Solkan, along the Soča River, where we immediately turn sharply right to cross the longest footbridge in Slovenia. We continue along the cycling path for 2.9 km until we reach the junction for Sabotin. Here, we take a scenic single-track trail, a rocky path leading us to the summit, passing by historic caverns. As we ascend, breathtaking views open up over the emerald-green Soča River and the nearby Sveta Gora. Near the mountain hut below the peak, we find a refreshment station, and after just a few more steps, we reach the summit of Sabotin, offering a unique panoramic view of Nova Gorica, Gorizia, and the surrounding landscape, stretching all the way to the Gulf of Trieste. The route continues along the Sabotin ridge on a rocky path, leading us to the picturesque ruins of the Church of St. Valentine, built at the end of the 14th century. This historic religious complex is located on the border between Slovenia and Italy, symbolizing the connection between the two nations. The descent takes us past the famous stone inscription "NAŠ TITO" and back towards the footbridge, where we see the finish area. The final meters lead us to the well-deserved finish line and medal.
