The trip was so meticulously and thoughtfully planned. It is not joke to say this is as much a culinary trip as a running trip. This is my third trip with Rogue Expeditions, clearly I’m a big fan! You do not have to be a fast, super experienced runner to enjoy this trip. Those runners will also enjoy the trip though. RE does a great job at making sure you see all the beautiful highlights of every run, even if you don’t do the max distance. The food and wine was such a treat. Maybe I could have planned the Ljubljana hotel and city center part on my own, but there is no way I would have found these cool old farmhouses away from the touristy areas of Slovenia on my own. You get to see so much more than you would planning your own trip! Highly recommend it!

Such an amazing region of the world! My recent Alpe-Adria trip was my third Rogue Expeditions adventure and it was perfect. The overall beauty of the places we drove, the choices of the individual runs, and the non-running activities couldn’t have been chosen better. Running along Lake Bohinj, rafting in the Soca River, and swimming in the Adriatic Sea were my favorites, but I loved it all. The stunning scenery and the runs were what it was all about, but it wouldn’t have been possible without our drivers and running guides. These four were so knowledgeable about the region, very supportive, extremely helpful, and fun. I enjoyed every moment and am already planning next year’s travel with Rogue Expeditions!

This was my 2nd Rogue trip. The Alpe-Adria trip was talked up before I signed on and yet it somehow still exceeded expectations- this trip was glorious! The meals are next level, views are gorgeous, the planning (including adapting plans to the inevitable unexpected occurrences) is perfect, and the fantastic company on the trip may have still been the best part. 10/10, definitely recommend.

I had an amazing time! The runs were all unique and very scenic with plenty of time available to take pictures and enjoy the views. I loved the isolated and cozy feel of all the places we stayed on the trip. I also really appreciated that we we stayed at all the locations for two nights, as it felt more relaxing. White water rafting was so much fun and was an excellent way to relax after a longer run. The guides and drivers were so friendly and helpful. They were always willing to go the extra mile if we needed additional support on the runs or if there was something extra we wanted to do on the trip. This is my second Rogue Expeditions trip and I will definitely be back for more. Every experience is so unique and I always meet such friendly and interesting people.

This is one of those trips where every heightened expectation you had is met, if not exceeded. From the moment we sent our first inquiry to the follow-up after our airport drop-off, this team went the extra mile to take care of the group in every possible way. It’s no small feat, taking a sport as strenuous as trail running, and turning it into a vacation that’s both mentally and physically rejuvenating (you go home sore, but in the best way). But this team did just that — not just relieving travelers of the burdens of research, logistics, and safety, but also ensuring that every day brought a new set of unforgettable experiences. We could rave about Slovenia and Croatia endlessly, but it goes without saying: for an organization to put such thought into the execution of a trip, there’s no doubt each location they pick boasts breathtaking sceneries and local experiences you wouldn’t have found on your own. We couldn’t recommend Rogue Expeditions and this trip more — and we’re already looking forward to our next time with the teams.

A Trip of a Lifetime — Thank You, Rogue Expeditions! Wow. Where do I even begin? This trip with Rogue Expeditions far exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we arrived until the bittersweet goodbye, every detail was perfectly planned, making the entire experience 100% stress-free. All I had to do was show up and run — and eat, and laugh, and soak in some of the most jaw-dropping scenery I’ve ever seen! The runs were nothing short of epic — winding through alpine meadows, along the turquoise Soča River, across vineyard-covered hills, and up to panoramic mountain vistas. Each day brought a new adventure, and each trail felt like a postcard come to life. The diversity of terrain kept things exciting, and the option to adjust distances meant everyone could participate and enjoy at their own pace. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. I never knew post-run meals could feel like gourmet celebrations. From rustic farm-to-table feasts to multi-course wine-paired dinners in 700-year-old cellars, every meal was memorable — both in taste and in setting. And the people — the best part. I made genuine, lifelong friends on this trip, all brought together by a shared love of running, exploring, and living fully. A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible lead guide Alain, who brought energy, humor, and endless knowledge to every moment. Your passion and care set the tone for the entire experience. And to our amazing local guides Nika, Špela, and Anže — thank you for sharing your home with us and making us feel so welcomed and taken care of. Your insight, stories, and warm hospitality added so much depth and meaning to the journey. Rogue Expeditions, you’ve created something truly magical with this trip. I’m already dreaming of my next adventure with you.
