5th Krka Half-marathon – proclaiming the winner

At the 5th Krka half-marathon, an international race through Krka National Park, runners were greeted in the Roman atmosphere of the Burnum amphitheatre.

 Marathon runners from 15 countries successfully completed the 21,098 m course from the Krka Eco-campus at Puljani to the Burnum amphitheatre at the 5^th Krka Half-marathon, an international athletic race through Krka National Park, surrounded by protected nature and unique cultural and historical heritage. Before them, the participants of the 5.6 km Fun Run race crossed the finished line. All competitors were greeted in a victorious, Roman atmosphere, well suited to the Burnum amphitheatre, a gem of ancient architecture.

The winners of the Fun Run race in the male and female categories were Marin Križanić and Marina Goreta. The winners of the 5^th Krka Half-marathon in the male and female categories were Krešimir Mrčela and Radmila Maksimović.

All race results and the list of winners in each category are available at the official race website: www.krka.run.

The course of the 5^th Krka Half-marathon is certified with the AIMS international certificate, meaning the results achieved at the Krka are credible and valid around the world. Due to the special experience of running through one of the loveliest parts of Croatia, surrounded by protected nature and unique cultural and historical heritage, this run has received much attention since the very start.

The half-marathon course is lovely and dynamic, beginning at the Krka Eco-campus in Puljani, passing through authentic village with old stone houses and drystone walls in the foothills of Mt. Promina, descending into the Krka Canyon by Brljan Lake, and then climbing again towards the Burnum amphitheatre, an ancient Roman military camp, to the finish line. Over these 21,098 metres, thousands of years of human history have unfolded, alongside eras of natural processes that have shaped this unique landscape. On the approximately four kilometres of the upper river course of the Krka River included on this route are five waterfalls, three medieval fortresses, and a Roman military amphitheatre, with countless traces of human inhabitation, always intertwined in life with the river.

We would like to thank all the runners, fans and all those who participated in the organisation of the 5^th Krka Half-marathon!
