"Petica u kvartu" is a neighborhood race covering a 5km distance with the goal of promoting sports and encouraging local residents to engage in recreational activities together. The race is initiated by the Athletics Club Fit, which has had its running school in the Špansko and Vrapče areas since 2018. The Running School itself has awakened the dormant neighborhood, and the "Petica u kvartu" race has brought together children and adults in one place. The first edition of the race featured 300 competitors in all categories, and now we are expecting the sixth edition of the race, anticipating a record number of participants.
The start and finish of all races are on Vida Došena Street, where Vida Došena Street intersects with Trg Ivana Kukuljevića Street.
Race route: Participants run 3 laps, each 1.5km in length, starting and finishing on Vida Došena Street.
The 1km race is recreational in nature, designed for children but also open to anyone who wants to test their speed over a 1km distance. It's suitable for those who find 5km too challenging for their first race.
