InfoInformation:

For 10 years already the small village of Podbrdo is

organising the spectacular GM4O Alpine Marathon.The idea was understood as quite crazy one on the very

beginning and there were many doubts about its future. But

great enthusiasm of the numerous local people involved in

the organisation and excellent experience and response of

the participants have made it one of the most important and

admired sport events of the area. The race was a great success

in the first year already and has been growing strong ever since.

The 10th GM4O Alpine Marathon expected on 18th June 2011 was crowned with a privilege being also 8th WMRA

World Long Distance Mountain Running Challenge.

»I know how difficult the challenge is as you prepare for this spectacular marathon. I did it last year, although I had no idea beforehand what a test it would be. It was probably the toughest physical challengeI have ever taken on in my life! But as we all know the best things in life often come only with great effort. And, indeed, the marathon covers some of the most beautiful terrain of Slovenia. One thing is indisputable:

the entire experience was unforgettable!«

Words ofThomas B. Robertson,

former U. S. Ambassador in

Slovenia who experienced the GM4O Alpine marathon in the year of 2005
