Spartan Trifecta Kope 2027
Spartan Race in Šmartno pri Slovenj Gradcu, Slovenia. 15 events over 2 days, May 22–23, 2027.
Race information
Spartan Trifecta Kope is a new stop on the Slovenian calendar, run at the Kope ski resort on the Pohorje massif above Šmartno pri Slovenj Gradcu on 22-23 May 2027. The resort sits at around 1,500 m, so the course climbs through subalpine forest and open ski piste.
Saturday carries the 21 km Beast (30 obstacles), Sunday the 10 km Super (25 obstacles), and the 5 km Sprint (20 obstacles) runs on both days — the full Trifecta in one weekend. Elite and Age Group waves open the Beast and Super, Doubles heats run alongside every Open wave, and the Kids Races over 1 and 3 km are on the Saturday.
