Nestled in the heart of Croatia's vibrant capital city, Zagreb, the Zagreb Run offers runners an unforgettable experience through its historic streets and parks. On December 12, 2026, participants will traverse a course that highlights the city’s rich architecture and cultural landmarks. The route begins at Ban Jelačić Square, one of Europe's largest pedestrian squares, where runners are greeted by the iconic equestrian statue of Marshal Josip Jelačić.
From there, the race takes you through the picturesque streets of Kaptol, known for its Baroque churches and charming cafes. The course then winds past St. Mark’s Church with its distinctive multicolored roof tiles that resemble a medieval coat of arms. As runners continue along Mirogoj Street, they pass by Mirogoj Cemetery, a serene green space filled with century-old trees and monuments.
The latter part of the race features scenic views of Jarun Lake, where participants can enjoy a mix of flat sections and gentle inclines as they near the finish line. The event is not just about running; it's also an opportunity to experience Zagreb’s unique blend of history and modernity up close. With its engaging course and supportive atmosphere, the Zagreb Run promises to be an exhilarating day for runners of all levels.
For those looking to explore more than just a race, post-event festivities will include live music performances and local food vendors, offering participants and spectators alike a chance to celebrate in true Croatian style.
