Salomon Marathon trail

Trail run on Hvar Island – explore the stunning single trails of the sunniest island in the Mediterranean. You can expect some nice single trails along the Adriatic coast and ridges with amazing views on the nearby islands.

The race begins in the center of Stari Grad, taking you through its most significant landmarks. 

You will pass the well-known Likoreva House and ascend to the Purkin Kuka viewpoint, a beloved site for visitors and an important archaeological landmark of Stari Grad.

The course then leads through the historic villages of Dol and Vrbanj, some of the oldest on the island, rich in cultural heritage and tradition.
Before climbing the stunning ridge of Sveti Nikola, you will pass through the villages of Svirče and Vrisnik, known for their high-quality wine and olive oil production.

Upon reaching Sveti Nikola, the highest peak on Hvar, take a moment to enjoy the breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Central Dalmatia.

Descending into Sveta Nedjelja, the route takes you along the coastline and stunning beaches for nearly 21 km, allowing you to soak in the scents of the sea, Mediterranean flora, pine trees, and vineyards.

Before reaching the finish line, you will pass Napoleon Fortress, run through Fortica Fortress, and cross the finish in the heart of Hvar Town, right in front of the famous Loggia.

The trail is suitable for intermediate and more experienced runners. It does not include dangerous sections, making it suitable even for runners who prefer non-exposed paths.

Aid stations

At the Tour de Hvar, we strive to minimize the festival’s negative impact on the environment, which is why single-use cups will not be available at the refreshment stations. We kindly ask runners to bring their own cup, bottle, or camel bag and use them at the refreshment stations.
