The Split Marathon is an annual marathon event that takes participants through a distinctive running experience that combines the region’s natural beauty with its rich cultural heritage. The newly certified AIMS route links two historic cities associated with Emperor Diocletian: Split and Solin (ancient Salona), along with a green oasis encompassing Marjan Hill and the scenic source of the Jadro River. A standout feature of this trail is the passage through the Hajduk football club stadium, a highlight eagerly anticipated by football enthusiasts.
The race begins at Split’s West Coast and concludes, as in previous years, on the iconic Split Riva, right by to Emperor Diocletian’s UNESCO-listed palace. Along the route, 12 refreshment stations are available, and passing times are measured at 10 checkpoints, with live tracking provided for each runner. All participants who complete the marathon will be awarded a medal and enjoy generous refreshments at the finish line.
The 25th Split Marathon event includes these races: Marathon, Hervis Half Marathon, Team 10K, Mazda 10K, and the Family Fun & Run powered by Slobodna Dalmacija.
The main event will take place on February 16, while the recreational Family Fun & Run will take place a day before, on February 15.
