Dubrovnik Half Marathon

Once a year the Walls of Dubrovnik are the track field to a very tricky 2K race. Upstairs, downstairs, slippery ancient stone, magnificent view… All of it makes this race unforgettable. Race track (2,5km): Stradun - Walls of Dubrovnik - Stradun

Short and furious. The most emotional of all Du Motion races. The future. The Great Onofrio's Fountain that quenched the citizens’ thirst in the ancient days and the Orland's Column – the oldest reserved sculpture in Dubrovnik – mark the start and finish of the 250 m long race track where the future marathon runners perfect their running skills. Fierce, bold, courageous, daring, fearless, valiant, this lionhearted kids compete, supported by proverbially loud cheering from a numerous audience, running over the historical stones of Dubrovnik, winning their first medals and dreaming of their future sport successes.

A thing to remember. Dubrovnik in motion. More than a race. As starter pistol is fired, tense muscles release all of their power, marking the start of a Half Marathon race which reveals the city itself. Each new kilometre of this race unselfishly unveils the beauties of The Old City nucleus and Dubrovnik coast. Strenuous and impressive, Du Motion’s flagship event is a race of good energy and positive runners who run with smile, embraced by Dubrovnik itself. Half Marathon’s rhythm keeps pounding throughout Dubrovnik streets, long after the last runner crosses the finish line on Stradun.

Big numbers, big fun. Striving toward a noble goal. The big heart of Dubrovnik. Pupils, students, sportsmen, politicians, entrepreneurs, retirees... A mere mention of 5K prompts all the generations of Dubrovnikers and their guests to readily run out, onto the streets of Dubrovnik. And the reason for such enthusiasm is that this race not only aims at setting Dubrovnik in motion but also possesses a humanitarian character. Besides the highest attendance of all Du Motion races, 5K boasts a panoramic track which is equally enjoyed by all the generations, recreational sportsmen and beginners. Along all the 5 kilometres, all as one. This is DUBROVNIK IN MOTION!
