As we announced earlier Saturday the 5th of October 2013 was a busy day. The morning shift worked from 8 AM till 4 PM going up and down the hill at the Planina near Vrhnika.

And a lot of work was done. The race director Marko Perko reports that 52 workers showed up for the work, 22 female and 30 male pairs of capable hands (and legs). Their total climbs count was 305 with 122.000 combined altitude meters climbed (and descended too),

8 Hours Ultra Workday at Planina, October 5th 2013

4. October 2013 By 3 Comments

Planina is a small hill above Vrhnika. On Saturday, the 5th of October 2013 it will be occupied by a select group of ultrarunners. They will start their Ultra Workday as the event has been named by it’s founder Marko Perko.

The goal is simple. Get to the top and back to starting point and back to top and … as many times as possible in 8 hours.

The height difference is 430 meters and the course is 3,5 kilometers long.

First edition was held last year on September 29th. Top worker, titled director, was Alen Božič who managed to get to the top 11 times in 7 hours and 33 minutes. That’s around 4730 height meters and 38,5 kilometers. Amazing.
