Spring brings new sporting energy to Novi Vinodolski, where the second edition of the increasingly popular trail race that gathers running and nature enthusiasts will be held. After the successful edition last year, when numerous competitors from across the region were on the track, this year’s race brings a range of novelties, additional features, and even better organized competition that will satisfy both recreational and experienced runners.

A Unique Sporting Experience in the Heart of Nature

Race participants will be able to choose between two routes – a shorter route of 5 kilometers and a more demanding route of 11.5 kilometers. Both routes lead through the picturesque landscapes of the hinterland of Novi Vinodolski, offering competitors a blend of sporting challenge and the enjoyment of the natural beauties of this part of Croatia.

This year, a special emphasis has been placed on a family atmosphere, so the organizers have also prepared children’s races that will take place in the city center, on specially secured sections of 100 and 200 meters. This aims to encourage even the youngest to get involved in sporting activities from an early age and to develop the habit of movement.

Competitive Spirit and Rich Prizes

As in previous years, competitors will be divided into several categories according to age and gender, and the winners will be announced immediately after the races end. However, this race is not just a competition – the focus is on enjoying the sport and the sense of community, as confirmed by the organization of numerous additional activities throughout the day.

All participants are provided with starting packages, professional time measurement, and medals for those who finish the race. The best will, in addition to sporting pride, take home rich prizes that include gift packages, tickets to attractive destinations, and dinners in local restaurants.

Sporting Socializing with a Rich Supporting Program

In addition to the race itself, an entertaining program has been organized that will last into the evening hours. After the physical exertion, participants and visitors will be able to relax with a concert that will further elevate the atmosphere and round off this sporting event in the best possible way.

The event is not just a sporting occasion, but also an opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle. Throughout the weekend, visitors will be able to take part in various workshops and presentations related to sports nutrition, race preparation, and maintaining physical fitness.
