Get ready to experience one of the most beautiful and traditional races in Croatia! The 43rd Nin – Zadar Half Marathon returns this November, offering runners a unique chance to connect two historic Dalmatian cities through a breathtaking 21.1 km course. Whether you are a professional athlete chasing a personal best or a recreational runner looking for inspiring things to do in Zadar region, this race is a true “run with a soul.”
Held in honor of the City of Zadar Day and the feast of St. Krševan, this half marathon is a cornerstone of the Zadar region events calendar. The race starts in the royal town of Nin, the oldest Croatian royal city, and winds its way through the Mediterranean landscapes of Zaton and Kožino, eventually crossing the iconic Zadar bridge to finish in the heart of the historic peninsula.
The course is known for being relatively flat and fast, but it is the atmosphere that truly stands out. Locals line the streets to cheer on participants, and the final stretch into the Roman Forum area provides a finish line feeling like no other. For those who want to Visit Dalmatia and test their limits, this event perfectly combines athletic challenge with cultural exploration.
