Ostrog Halfmarathon

Run a legendary spiritual and athletic ascent in the heart of the Balkans. The Ostroški Polumaraton (Ostrog Half Marathon), held on Saturday, 11 April 2026, is a unique and demanding 21.1 km race that climbs from the city of Nikšić to the iconic Ostrog Monastery, one of the most revered Orthodox Christian sites in the world. Starting at 10:55 AM in front of the St. Vasilije Ostroški Cathedral, the course symbolically traces the path of a holy procession, crossing the spectacular 18 arches of the Carev Most (Emperor's Bridge) before tackling a relentless climb to the finish at the monastery, nestled dramatically into a cliff face. Renowned as one of the most challenging and spiritually significant half marathons, it is a "race for the soul" that tests physical limits while offering breathtaking mountain scenery and an unparalleled atmosphere. This event is a profound cultural and sporting experience, attracting runners seeking both a formidable athletic challenge and a deep connection to Montenegro's heritage.
