Good preparation leads to relaxed running
Anyone wishing to get themselves in good shape for one of the running challenges at September’s Triglav Run can register for the training sessions on the event website. Experienced trainers will be on hand to ensure that you come to the event properly physically prepared and equipped with tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. This will make the run a more relaxed (and safer) experience.
This year the event will offer different runs of varying levels of difficulty: a half-marathon, a 10 km run, a 5 km run (for the first time), a three-person 3.4 km relay run, a 3.4 km family run and the “Kuža Pazi” children's run over 350 and 700 metres.
Running enthusiasts can check the differing demands of the various challenges on the website, choose the challenge that suits them and register. Early-bird registration, which is the cheapest option, is possible until 19 August 2022. After this date, the registration fee will rise. Registration will be open up to and including 2 September 2022, and on the day of the event until all the places have been taken.
Onwards to victory alongside top athletes
The Triglav Run is one of the activities through which Zavarovalnica Triglav promotes the advantages of exercise and a healthy lifestyle to the general public and its staff throughout the Triglav Group. They are helped in this endeavour every year by a large posse of Slovenian athletes, or Triglav Run ambassadors, who will also take part in the public training sessions during the summer. Among others, this year will see the return of Klemen Bauer, Anamarija Lampič, Peter Prevc, Cene Prevc, Žan Košir, Špela Rogelj and Nika Križnar. You can follow their activities on the Triglav Run website.
Sustainable and for a good cause
The Triglav Run is a run for a good cause, as Zavarovalnica Triglav have given donations to healthcare institutions at the event for several years. This year, donations totalling EUR 15,000 will be given to the Ultrasound Association for the Slojenčki project.
The event, which every year features a large number of sporting and social activities, also contributes towards the realisation of the objectives of the Let’s Secure the Future project, and thus constitutes a part of Zavarovalnica Triglav’s sustainable operations.
