About this race
Beh v raji is a road running event in Slovak Paradise, beginning near Dobšinská Ice Cave by Stratená in the Rožňava district. It takes place in late May and provides practical distances for various runners: 5 km, 10 km, Nordic walking, and in recent editions, a half marathon. The event is organized by o.z. ŠK DOBŠINÁ, featuring separate overall results for men and women, and age categories for older participants.
The routes follow asphalt roads around Stratená and the cave vicinity; the course is not certified. The 10 km route heads toward Stratená via Stratenský kaňon and returns, with the 5 km turning around midway on the same road. The half marathon extends further through Stratená and Stratenská píla before returning past the Havrania skala turnoff. A brief prologue offers a different challenge: a 1 km uphill run from the parking area to Dobšinská Ice Cave on a forest path.
