The event is certainly one of the most important international athletic events in Slovenia in the coming years, where Slovenia also has realistic hopes for good rankings, as it is also evident from the rich statistics, according to which mountain runners are among the most triumphant representatives of athletics in Slovenia. Optimism is further raised by the success in the previous year, which was one of the most successful so far for the Slovenian mountain running. In addition, the organization of such an event is of immense importance also for the local and regional environment in a broader tourist and promotional sense. The championship will feature 400 to 500 runners and accompanying persons, which means a great promotion of Velika Planina and the surrounding area, famous for its beauty and variety of terrain. In this regard, the exceptional commitment of the Kamnik municipality needs also to be emphasized.
