Why is running on Krk so special?
On Krk, you don’t just run for fitness. You run for the soul. The routes take you past old towns, through quiet olive groves, along shady forest paths and over cliffs with breathtaking views. The climate is mild almost all year round, making it ideal for off-season training.
History and culture also add to the charm – where else can you run alongside medieval city walls or past centuries-old stone houses that whisper tales of the past?
