UTVV

Windy hills, stunning Nanos landscapes, and hundreds of kilometers of challenge — UTVV is one of Slovenia’s biggest trail events, attracting around 2,200 runners from all over the world. From 10 to 165 km, every participant tests their limits, and I even ran a few kilometers fully geared alongside them to capture the action up close. A tough course, incredible scenery, and unstoppable energy — UTVV is a trail runner’s dream and a photographer’s playground.

When all of Slovenia mourned the Pope,
trail runners still had to keep the slope.
From ten to one-sixty-five km long,
everyone pushes, complaining all along.

We all go through the phases of pain,
but no one stops to rest, it’s all in vain.
The Strava runs, burning calories fast,
“Why am I doing this?” is just a thought you’ve cast.

But once you cross that finish line,
your body suddenly feels just fine.
Endorphins soar, spirits alive,
and already you’re checking when the next races arrive.
