Umag Run – When the heart dictates the pace

In the Umag RUN, it's not just the kilometres that count - it's the smiles, the support along the way, and that feeling when you break your own boundaries.

Whether you are a professional runner, a recreational runner, or a parent accompanying your kids on a children's race, Umag RUN is an excellent opportunity for an active day in NW Istria.

It's easier to reach the finishing line with loud fans

The race takes place at the end of April, with the start and finish at the legendary Goran Ivanišević ATP Stadium, and the course runs along the coast and past Umag's landmarks. There are three categories for adults – a half marathon, 10.5 km and a 5 km Fun RUN – and a special Kid's RUN race for the youngest. An ideal opportunity for the whole family to be part of the same sporting event.

If you run out of motivation along the way, don't worry, because there are always many fans along the trail whose energy and "Bravo!" are excellent fuel.

When the race is over, the fun begins

Umag RUN is becoming increasingly popular among runners and is sometimes sold out days in advance. It brings together more than 1,500 runners from Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and beyond.

The atmosphere? Unique. The hosts are happy, the music is loud, and the finisher medals are more than just souvenirs – they are proof that it can be done. As always in Umag, what happens afterwards is also important: a DJ, a pasta party, partying under the pine trees, and photos that will decorate your social media feed for days.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best or just want to run with the team and have fun, this is the race for you!
