Đirada Pašman

The course requires a certain level of fitness and experience, making it suitable for more prepared participants. The race starts in the center of Dobropoljana, where the route passes through the village before heading uphill through olive groves. After the initial climb, the course descends towards the area near Neviđane, where a refreshment and checkpoint station is located. At this point, the route merges with the shorter Blue course (8 km). From there, a steady climb begins towards the highest part of the island. Following the ascent, runners descend towards the southern coast of Pašman Island, before starting the final climb to the finish. This section includes approximately 500 meters of singletrack, after which the route continues along a gravel road leading to the finish line at the summit of Veliki Bokolj (274 meters above sea level). At the top, participants are rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Velebit mountain range and the entire Zadar archipelago. The course features a mix of asphalt, gravel, and sections of singletrack. It is largely runnable and not technically demanding, making it suitable for road runners as well. The time limit to complete the course is 5 hours.
