Žaškovský minimaratón

The Žaškov Mini Marathon is a traditional running race that has been held in the village of Žaškov in Orava for 55 years. The course runs mainly along forest roads and village streets, covering approximately 12.4 km with around 600 m of elevation gain. Runners are warmly welcomed by local residents of all ages, creating a friendly, family atmosphere. The mini marathon is part of the Šípsko - Fatranské behy series and is suitable for all running enthusiasts who want to enjoy the beauty of Orava’s nature and the spirit of sport.

The course previously ran through Dierová; it was later changed because the footbridge over the Orava River was closed. Runners are welcomed by local residents, and spectators include people of all ages, including older residents. The race is part of a series of several running events in the region. The races include various distances from 100 m to 12 km, with categories for children, young people, and adults. The event also features historical results and photo galleries. The races take place in the village of Žaškov by the Orava River, with registration from 9:30 and the start from 11:00.
