On the penultimate weekend of October, Ljubljana will once again come alive with the rhythm of running. The NLB Ljubljana Marathon, taking place on Saturday, 18 October, and Sunday, 19 October 2025, is more than just a sporting event – it’s a celebration of movement, perseverance and community. It is the largest running event in Southeast Europe, our home region, attracting runners from over 40 countries each year. As much as a third of international participants come from the region where NLB operates – among them many of our employees and clients.
This year, organizers expect a record number of participants – more than 20,000 runners – confirming that the marathon is not just a local event, but a globally recognized running experience. The streets of Ljubljana will be filled with energy, cheering crowds and a vibrant atmosphere that can only be truly felt in person.
As a proud sponsor of the event, NLB has prepared a special entry fee offer for our clients – our small support that helps them take the first step at the starting line and towards health, vitality, and the shared energy we create together. No matter which NLB bank they belong to, they can enjoy a EUR 5 discount on registration for any distance when paying with NLB payment card. The offer is available until the end of September 2025.
The NLB Ljubljana marathon is more than a race – it is an opportunity to connect. As colleagues, as a team, as a community. Whether you take on 10, 21, or 42 kilometres, it is an experience that strengthens both body and spirit. And we warmly invite you to join us on streets of Ljubljana – as runners, supporters, or cheerleaders.
