Ultra Fatra 2026

Ultra Fatra is a 55 km trail race held in Dolný Harmanec, Slovakia, within the Banská Bystrica region. It takes place around the end of July in the center of Veľká Fatra National Park. Forest and mountain terrain define the course from the beginning. The primary event is a single 55 km loop featuring 3,800 m of elevation gain, presenting a demanding mountain day rather than a relaxed long run. The 55 km route is the race’s most popular distance and awards 3 ITRA points. It also contributes to the UTMB Index, relevant for participants seeking qualification for UTMB-affiliated races. The race's profile indicates a focused, nature-centric event: a single loop, substantial elevation, and a location deep within a significant Slovakian national park.
