For all those who think the idea of riding a Pony to the top of the Vršič Pass is too far-fetched, here is the Ponytlon, a mini version of the Red Bull Goni Pony bicycle race. If you think that Vršič is too big, pushing to the top of the Mohorjev Klan (Kranj) with Pony should not be too difficult a task even for those who are not exactly in top shape. Of course, the Ponytlon can also serve as a warm-up for "rushing Vršič with Pony" or groping the competition. Ponytlon 2016 is already scheduled for May 20, 2016.
