Between Stari Grad and Hvar stretches one of the island’s most distinctive trail routes — a path that blends history, wild nature, and ever-changing panoramas at almost every step. Departing from Stari Grad, runners move along centuries-old field paths and dry-stone walls, gradually climbing toward the hills that rise above the UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain. As the town slowly fades behind them, the scents of pine, earth, and stone open the gateway to the Dalmatian wilderness waiting at higher elevations.

Reaching the village of Brusje brings a completely different atmosphere: a quiet, authentic settlement surrounded by lavender fields and wide views of both sea and mainland. From here begins the most runnable and open section of the course — a long ridge traverse linking the island’s northern and southern slopes. The scenery shifts constantly between Stari Grad, Hvar, and the Paklinski Islands, creating a backdrop that gives runners the feeling of gliding above the entire island.

After the ridge comes a dynamic descent toward Milna, where the terrain shifts from soft soil to the island’s distinctive sharp stone, while pine forests hint at the closeness of the sea. Milna Cove offers a refreshing change of scene — white beaches, the smell of salt, and waves breaking just below the trail. From there, the final coastal section unfolds: winding, colorful, and leading runners toward Hvar and its famous waterfront, an ideal stage for the finish line.
