Ho Ho Advent Run Makarska

Join us on December 19, 2026 for the Ho Ho Ho – Makarska Advent Run and immerse yourself in a festive blend of sport and holiday cheer along the picturesque Adriatic coastline. This free-entry race offers two distances: a scenic 5 km route and an exhilarating 10 km course, both starting and finishing at Veliki Mul (Big Pier) on Makarska Riva.
The 5 km race takes runners from Big Pier westward through Peškera Park along the Dr. Franjo Tuđman promenade past Aminess Khalani Hotel before returning via a picturesque waterfront route back to the finish line. The 10 km event doubles this journey, with participants completing two laps of the same scenic course.
Participants will enjoy running under the Christmas lights and festive decorations while experiencing Makarska's charming coastal ambiance. After crossing the finish line, runners can indulge in a rich pasta party featuring traditional local delicacies and live entertainment by a DJ.
All entrants aged 14 or older are welcome to participate; those younger than 14 must obtain parental consent along with approval from a sports medicine doctor. A Christmas hat is mandatory for all competitors and will be included in the race pack provided at registration.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to celebrate the holiday season through sport and community spirit!
