Ljubljana Runs on Your Cheers!

Be part of the NLB 30th Ljubljana Marathon on 17–18 October 2026. Come out, line the streets and help make this milestone edition unforgettable!

A great marathon is about more than the runners. It is about the crowds cheering them on, the families waiting at the roadside, the friends holding up handmade signs and the strangers who become the loudest supporters along the way.

Whether you're cheering for someone you know or simply soaking up the atmosphere, your support can make a real difference. Every clap, every shout and every encouraging sign can give runners the boost they need to keep going.

Make some noise! Bring your friends, create colourful signs, wave your flags and cheer for every runner who passes. You never know who might need your encouragement most.
