Brač Run

On 10 June, participants of Run Croatia’s  humanitarian run, along with Olympic marathoner Matea Matošević, will sprint along a 5 or 10 km track, starting inland in Selca and finishing at the coast in Sumartin. They’ll race amongst ancient olive groves, enjoying panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, neighboring islands and the karst peaks of Bikovo.

For younger runners, a humanitarian kids’ race will take place on the 10th, in nearby Povlja.

The beneficiary, Brački Pupoljci, is an organization for parents of children with developmental disabilities, who assist each other in providing necessary therapies and support.

“Our little buddies are cheering for the kids who will run for them, because many cannot do it themselves,” said Mirjana Nižetić, the NGO’s Vice President. She added, “All contributions from the run will be used to pay for therapists’ services to the children.”
