Are you ready for another Krka Half-Marathon?

Are you ready for another Krka Half-Marathon?
The 5^th Krka Half-Marathon will host runners and their friends on 23 April 2022 amidst the spring vegetation that is just starting to spout all around the Krka canyon.

 On Saturday, 23 April 2022, we will again be gathering in the northern part of Krka National Park for the 5^th annual Krka Half-Marathon, a sporting event of the highest category and a long-awaited day on the calendar of the Croatian Athletic Federation, and part of the 1^st Croatian athletic road league.

The starting point of the race remains the same – Krka Eco Campus in Puljane, as well as the finish – Burnum amphitheatre. For all those who find the Half-marathon too much of a challenge, the 5.6 km FunRun race is also on the schedule. There is also a climbing and racing challenge – the crown of Emperor Trajan, a reward for runners who most quickly overcome the ascent from the canyon of the Krka River at the Brljan waterfall. Since the Krka Half-Marathon is planned to be a family event, children’s races will also be held in the amphitheatre area.

Runners can pick up their start numbers and start packages on Friday, 22 April in Drniš, at the branch office of the Public Institute of Krka National Park, from 12:00 am to 8:00 pm, or on race day, on Saturday, 23 April in front of the Burnum amphitheatre from 7:30. The package includes, among other things, a coupon that runners will be able to exchange for a ticket for the Krka National Park and use one day during the weekend in which the race takes place. Also, the Archaeological Collection in the Krka Eco Campus Krka is open for all runners and fans.

You can register for the 5th Krka Half-Marathon (utrka.com) until 12 April. All information about the race itself, receiving the start packages, and arrival at the start are available on the official website of the race at krka.run.

The Half-marathon track is beautiful and dynamic. It starts at the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane, passes through autochthonous places full of old stone houses and dry stone walls at the bottom of Promina, descends into the Krka canyon near Brljan Lake and then ascends to the Burnum amphitheatre. Thousands of years of human history and an era of natural processes took place at those 21098 metres, and shaped this unique landscape in many ways. There are five waterfalls, three medieval fortresses and a Roman amphitheatre, with numerous traces of human life, intertwined with the life of the river, spreading at four kilometres of the upper course of the Krka River. For most visitors, it is the unknown Krka. It is almost unbelievable that there are so many wonderful places, shaped by people or river, that we can get to know in the dry, rocky area of ​​the deep canyon.
