Archipelago Trail Run 2026

Sali, Croatia, 3 October 2026

This stage starts and finishes in the village of Pašman and climbs onto the island’s central ridge before reaching its highest peak with panoramic views across the surrounding islands. The route gives runners a broad tour of the island landscape and its coastal Mediterranean character. It is mostly non-technical, though the climb to the high point includes some rockier ground, so it still suits runners with solid trail experience.

6 distances from 10 to 38 km, up to 873 m of climb.
