Slovakia’s Ľudová 50 is an extraordinary event on the mountain running calendar, captivating not only with a demanding course but above all with its unique, friendly, and truly feast-like atmosphere🌲. Lovers of long distances will find here a scenic but ruthless 51 km ultra route, packed with steep forest climbs and technical descents that will seriously test your endurance. The organizers usually also prepare a shorter loop for those who prefer a slightly smaller mileage but still want to enjoy this special, folkloric race vibe🏃. Wondering how to spend your time after crossing the finish line?🤔
Once you’ve collected your commemorative medal, be sure to refuel with traditional, thick Slovak kapustnica, which tastes absolutely perfect after long hours on the trail🍲. When you’ve got your energy back, take your family on a fascinating trip to the famous, painted village of Čičmany, where you’ll surely be delighted by the unique wooden houses decorated with geometric patterns. For couples, a fantastic choice will be a romantic walk through the chambers of the nearby fairytale Bojnice Castle, which you can reach by car in under an hour🏰. If, however, you’re dreaming only of relief for very tired muscles, head to the popular spa resort Rajecké Teplice to sink into hot thermal pools and fully celebrate your wonderful sporting triumph!🎉
