Whether you are a hardcore ultra-marathoner or a family looking for a scenic jog, Škraping is the perfect excuse to visit the charming village of Tkon this spring.
The 20th Jubilee edition of Škraping is officially set for Saturday, March 7, 2026. This year’s event carries a special humanitarian note under the slogan “Your trace in stone means safety for the youngest,” with 10% of entry fees being donated to the Zadar General Hospital maternity ward.
The race is divided into four distinct categories to suit every fitness level:
