The 10th anniversary Blitz Bovec Marathon will also be a charity event. We are dedicating a portion of the entry fees to Teo, an eight-year-old boy from the Ptuj area who is battling a relentless genetic disease that is slowly robbing him of his strength, mobility, and childhood. To keep walking, Teo urgently needs gene therapy in the USA.
There will be a stand at the event where you can make a contribution to help Teo.
The Blitz Bovec Marathon Team
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.
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.
