For a long time, long distance running was not considered appropriate for women. We were even banned from participating in marathons. In Bovec, however, they have accepted us without reservation.
That is why I am grateful to return there to confirm that they were right that they also want to run me a long way, if it is along the turquoise-blue Soča, then I prefer it.
I am happy to return to the Blitz Bovec Marathon for the third year, to wonderful places surrounded by beautiful nature, where it is a pleasure to run and where the locals make me feel at home.
Bovec has a special place in my life, because even in my childhood, Kanin became our training ground for winter, late spring and summer training, which, with persistent and hard work, were rewarded with a successful skiing career. Today, I especially appreciate the untouched nature, the beauty of the Soča River, walking trails with views of the surrounding peaks and the hospitality of the locals. These are the reasons why I like to return to Bovec in my mature years. It is a great pleasure for me to be the ambassador of the sports spectacle - the Blitz Bovec Marathon 2025.
As a marathon runner, I always like to return to Bovec. I ran in Bovec when this running event was organized together with Radenci and Kranj as part of the Three hearts marathons. This is one of the most beautiful and picturesque half marathons I have ever run. I warmly recommend it to all lovers of running in pure nature.
A marathon run can be a battle that is full of suffering.
A marathon can also be a song that is full of harmony,
a steady blend of steps, breaths and inspiration.
I invite you to the Blitz Bovec marathon,
to create a new song together.
