The rich history of runs to Šmarna gora is presented
The organizers of the Šmarna gora run in cooperation with the Šmarna gora Mountaineering Association, set up a monument at the top of the most visited mountain in Slovenia, with which we wanted to present the rich history of more or less cross-country sports events connected with our Šmarna gora.
A free-standing panel measuring 2m x 1.3m is placed at the place where the Rekord finish and, since last year, also Run, have been set. It consists of two substantively separate halves.
The second panel measuring 1.5 x 1.5 m is intended primarily for connoisseurs of Running and Record. It is placed in the finish line, which has had a permanent place in the immediate vicinity of the finish line since last autumn. In pictures and words, it represents the 42-year history of Running and the 26-year history of Record.

Is there anything better than starting the day with a perfect sunrise? Well, it’s hard for anyone to see the latter from their balcony, unless they live a little higher on a slope that faces exactly east. Well, Šmarna gora offers just such a “balcony”…

bachelor party ON ŠMARNA GORA
It’s okay to have a bachelor party before marriage, right? Well, my colleagues decided to drag me to Šmarna gora for this occasion. Of course, it was cute, especially when they embarrassed me no matter how many times and honestly laughed at it.

Šmarna Gora IN WINTER
“Interestingly, the Šmarna Gora Record was sometimes held in February, in the winter. There is still controversy about what conditions are better for this race. The fact is that the track was better then in dry conditions, and the roots are not in such it measures “protruding” from the ground due to increasing erosion, but it could have been slippery. Some people like lower temperatures (including me), while others literally freeze and prefer the heat. Maybe I’ll test myself in the winter. “
