Course details
Wine Run is a true celebration of life, flavor, and easygoing trail running — perfect for anyone who wants to mix a light jog or walk with tasting local wines and Hvar’s island delicacies. The route starts in front of the magnificent Tvrdalj, where the atmosphere is more about socializing and enjoyment than competition. Here, the goal is simple: you don’t race the clock — you savor the kilometers.
Explorer | 15 km
The 15-kilometre route around Stari Grad leads runners through the very heart of Hvar’s heritage and one of the island’s most diverse landscapes. The start in Stari Grad opens the way toward the Stari Grad Plain, the oldest and best-preserved ancient agricultural landscape on the Adriatic. Running through its perfectly arranged plots bordered by dry-stone walls and along gently rolling dirt paths feels like moving through a living museum — but in the rhythm of a modern trail run.
Coast 2 Coast | 26 km
Between Stari Grad and Hvar stretches one of the island’s most distinctive trail routes — a path that blends history, wild nature, and ever-changing panoramas at almost every step. Departing from Stari Grad, runners move along centuries-old field paths and dry-stone walls, gradually climbing toward the hills that rise above the UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain. As the town slowly fades behind them, the scents of pine, earth, and stone open the gateway to the Dalmatian wilderness waiting at higher elevations.
Hvar Marathon
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.
