10. Polumaraton Zrinskih (KUP Međimurja)

On April 25, 2027, the picturesque town of Čakovec hosts the annual Medimurje Half Marathon and 5K Run. The race starts at Zrinsko Frankopanska 2A with a ceremonious departure at 9:00 AM. Participants will traverse scenic routes through historic streets leading to Trg Republike, where they’ll cross the finish line.
For runners choosing the half marathon route, expect an exhilarating challenge covering 21 kilometers. The course winds past charming landmarks and offers glimpses of Medimurje’s rich cultural heritage. Upon crossing the finish line, all participants will receive a beautifully crafted medal commemorating their achievement. Top finishers in both genders can earn cash prizes up to €180 for first place.
The 5K run is designed for runners of all ages and abilities, with categories available from U22 through M70/Ž70. The route showcases the vibrant atmosphere of Čakovec’s city center while offering a more relaxed pace suitable for recreational athletes or those new to running. Both events provide start numbers equipped with chips, dri-fit race shirts, sports bags, and refreshments post-race.
Race organizers will be on hand at Scheier House from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM the day before the event to distribute starter kits for early registrants who have paid online via Utrka.com. On April 25th, kit distribution begins as early as 7:00 AM. Additionally, race officials will offer complimentary massages and recovery services in the finish area.
Registration fees vary depending on when you sign up; earlier registration offers discounts with options available through March 31st for both distances. Ensure your entry meets age requirements to participate safely—participants must be born no later than 2014 for the 5K or 2010 for the half marathon.
