Runica Nevoľné 2026

The Runica Nevoľné begins at the football field in Nevoľné, a village within Slovakia’s Žiar nad Hronom district, part of the Banská Bystrica region. This late-summer running event schedules children’s races in the morning, preceding longer races for adults and older juniors. Participants can select a 6.7 km race or a longer route measuring approximately 13.3 to 14.4 km, alongside a 250 m race for children. The course incorporates asphalt road, a paved hiking trail, and forest road, offering more variety than a standard road race. Categories are divided by age and gender for both main distances. The children’s race features separate boys’ and girls’ groups based on birth year. A unique feature is a mayors’ category, open to village and town mayors of any age participating in the longer race. The event is included in the marathontour.sk series and is organized by Marathon Banska Bystrica with ON-POINT.
