Program
Walk and Troika Run Program
The Municipality of Ljubljana and Timing Ljubljana will (from 7th to 9th May 2026) prepare the traditional, now already 68. march along the barbed wire. This is one of the largest sports and recreational events in our country, which every year attracts more than 45,000 participants. Most of the participants are usually attracted by a march along the trails around Ljubljana, where between the Second World War the wire fence of Italian and later on the German occupiers was. That’s why it is called “March along barbed wire”. The event is for everybody, younger and older people who are aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and want to spend a day in good company, relaxed atmosphere and meet Ljubljana from hiking perspective.
