Halfyard Ultra Svetomartinska Mura

The Svetomartinski HalfYard Ultra, an endurance challenge like no other, awaits runners on March 20, 2027. This unique race takes place near Mlinarska kuća (Miller’s House) and features a looped course of precisely 3,353 meters, known as the "Half Yard." The event is structured in an innovative “last one standing” format where competitors must complete each lap within a strict 30-minute time limit. Failure to reach the finish line before the next starting bell rings means elimination from the race.
The competition begins at 9:00 AM, with subsequent starts every half hour until all laps are initiated. After eight initial laps (four hours of continuous running), the pace quickens as runners face an escalating challenge: the last person to cross the finish line each lap is out of contention. This relentless format pushes competitors to their physical and mental limits.
Teams can also participate in mixed, women-only, or men-only categories, with all members required to complete every lap together before moving on to the next one. If any team member drops out, the entire partnership is disqualified. The race continues until only a single runner remains at the start of each new lap, marking them as the ultimate victor.
Registration fees are available online through utrka.com with early bird pricing set at 35€ for individuals and 70€ for teams, while regular registration stands at 40€ for solo runners or 80€ for pairs. This event is organized by TK Međimurje Runners in collaboration with CK10 crew.
The Svetomartinska Mura setting provides a picturesque backdrop for this grueling yet exhilarating race experience, offering participants and spectators alike an unforgettable day of athletic competition and camaraderie.
