Sunset Vertical

Kickoff your island hopping trail running weekend in the Zadar Archipelago with a vertical race. Sunset Vertical Race is a short and intense climb from the seaside village of Pašman (Pašman island) to the Kruna hilltop. The race begins right next to the BIB pick-up, then heads straight uphill for burning legs and views over the Adriatic and the nearby islands.

Start is just before sunset, perfect for golden hour views from the top. The course is simple, safe, and non-technical, ideal for both steady runners and those chasing a fast time.
