UTVV I Feel Slovenia 2027: A Premier Event for Adventure Tourism

Dates: April 2027 (based on last year's dates, but rumor has it that it will take place in February instead (updated)
Location: Slovenia

. The Ultra Trail Vipava Valley I Feel Slovenia 2027 is a leader in Slovenian adventure tourism, providing the travel industry with an opportunity to promote an internationally renowned trail running event. Set within the stunning Vipava Valley this event offers a mixture of athletic challenge and rich local culture and nature and providing a great option for the adventurous traveller, this year’s race is a must-visit for action-seekers.

A Showcase of Athletic Excellence

UTVV I Feel Slovenia 2027 offers seven race options for all kinds of athletes – both well-prepared ultramarathoners and less trained runners. The signature Emperor race, an arduous 160-kilometer course is Slovenia’s only 100-mile trail run, drawing elite runners looking to qualify for prestigious international races such as the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc. For those with less endurance, shorter distances, including the 10km Castra City Run, and the 15km Asterix, mean it’s an event the whole city can get behind. We’ll have around 2500 runners from 40+ countries and beyond at the event, which creates a lively, international feel that appeals to adventure tourism professionals who want to cater to different markets.

Immersive Cultural and Natural Experience

Nestled amongst the rolling vineyards, historical villages and rugged karst landscape of Vipava Valley, UTVV I Feel Slovenia 2027 is more than a race – it’s an experience. The runners follow paths that are full of Roman history, past historical sites related to the Battle of Frigidus in 394 AD. Non-competitive participants in the event’s Obelix Hike & Wine tour get an up close and personal view of this famous wine-growing region in the valley while tasting the local vinos amidst spectacular spring surroundings. This combination of sport and cultural discovery makes the event an attractive proposition for agents wanting to create authentic and active travel products.

Community Engagement and Entertainment

Though the trails can boast an international flavor, the appeal of the event isn’t only on the mountain, with a cracking festival in Ajdovščina, the historic Roman settlement of Castra. The opening EXPO features local vendors and outdoor brands, and the Kids Run allows for younger visitors to get notact too, making this a family affair. Entertainment offerings include live music and entertainment, such as celebrity impersonator acts, to give the guests more of a party experience. For the travel trade on the other hand, these factors highlight the show’s wide-ranging appeal, one that appeals to the solo traveller, families or groups.
