Some testimonials from athletes who have raced in Ratitovec follow.
Andrew Douglas (SCO), winner of Ratitovec World Club 2015: “I have really great memories of the race in Ratitovec. A very exciting atmosphere at the start and a tough, relentless climb to the top. Quite a technical path towards the finish, but once you get there, you are rewarded with stunning views of the mountains. The support at the finish was brilliant and helped as the legs started to really tire!”
Fujio Miyachi (JAP), multiple Ratitovec race participant: “Ratitovec is one of the most beautiful mountains in Slovenia. Slovenia is really green, has delicious food, people are kind and the race is great!”
Ana Cufer (SLO), Slovenian national champion and Ratitovec winner: “The region is famous for its beautiful nature. In the finish area, there are always lots of fans, good support and of course, wonderful views.”
