Holjevka

Većeslav and his vision... The Holjevka Race was established in 2015 as an idea organized by the Zagreb Athletics Association to hold a light spring 10K as a warm-up for the upcoming running season. We proudly emphasize that we were the first to recognize the attractiveness of this route precisely because, while crossing the bridge in the north direction, it offers a beautiful view of the city of Zagreb and Medvednica. The race is named in honor of Mayor Većeslav Holjevac, who, by moving the Fairgrounds in 1956 from Savska to the present Novi Zagreb, initiated the construction of residential neighborhoods 'on the other side of the Sava.'
