Ferčekovská desiatka

Ferčekovská desiatka is a small off-road running event held at Malé pole in Ferčekovce, a village near Spišská Nová Ves in eastern Slovakia. The main adult races are 5 km and 10 km. Children’s and youth races occur earlier, along with a 3 km “Prebehni sa s nami” run open to all ages. Športový klub Ferčekovce organizes it with the town of Spišská Nová Ves. It typically concludes the local season as the final event of the Spišská running league. The route follows forest roads, grass, and rolling terrain, not a certified flat course for time trials. Runners circle Farský lesík toward Diana meadow, turning back after 2.5 km. Men’s adult categories running the full 10 km complete the loop twice. The course has 125 meters of climbing, enough to affect pacing but not making it a mountain race. The event is designed for local club runners, hobby runners, families, children, youth, and older age groups, with separate men’s and women’s categories and reduced fees for seniors. Warm tea and sausages are provided with the entry fee, adding a practical village-race atmosphere after a cold November run.
