Five mountains – Biokovo, Mosor, Omiška Dinara, Primorska Kosa, Kozjak, three rivers – Cetina, Žrnovnica, Jadro, historical and cultural hotspots like Fortica and Klis fortresses, as well as remains of ancient city Salona will all be connected in one long haul by the race taking place on 18th – 20th of October.

“We invite you to explore what Dalmatia has to offer and suggest you plan a little vacation around the race. Beautiful and sometimes brutal landscapes, numerous beaches, rich history and culture, great wines and gastronomy, lots of sunny days and friendly people are a good start. Add a mild Mediterranean climate and there’s hardly a better place to be in October,” organisers said.
