toRunská vrtuľa 2026

toRunská vrtuľa is a charity running event at ATC Dubník in Stará Turá, in Slovakia's Trenčín region. It is run in June and starts in the morning, with entry fees going to help others; the listed beneficiary is Simonka Z., a girl receiving rehabilitation support. The name is read as "turanská vrtuľa," and the event is organized by the toRun Stará Turá running club. The main format is unusual: runners compete in pairs and have 9 hours to complete as many laps as they can. Each lap is about 2.4 to 2.5 km around the Dubník reservoir, with only around 10 meters of climb, so the challenge comes more from repetition, pacing, and teamwork than from hills. Children's races are offered, and runners can also join with a dog, which gives the day more of a local community feel than a standard road race.
