Zagreb Winter Classic 5K & 10K

On January 31, 2027, runners will converge on the picturesque Jarun Park for an exhilarating race that winds through its scenic trails and landmarks. The park's Otok Trešnjevka island serves as both the starting point and finish line for a challenging course.
For those tackling the shorter distance of 5 kilometers, the route takes competitors along the eastern shore of the island before venturing onto roller paths. A highlight is the ascent over the ski slope-style path that offers stunning views of Jarun’s natural beauty. The course then follows roller tracks around Otok Trešnjevka and returns to the starting point via a cobbled road.
The 10-kilometer race starts near Jarun Oasis, heading west along main park roads until it reaches a baseball field where runners transition onto rollerskate paths. This section includes an adventurous trek across grassy areas before circling around Otok Hrvatske Mladeži and returning to the finish line at the start point.
Both races feature robust support from organizers, including medical assistance and chip timing for precise results. Upon crossing the finish line, participants receive a medal as well as refreshments to aid recovery. The event guarantees an engaging experience amidst Jarun’s serene surroundings and dynamic landscapes.
