History edit

The first marathon race in Zagreb was organized in 1992. The track changed a lot in the first years, until 2004, when the start-finish area was moved to the city center, to the Ban Jelačić Square, with half-turns in Dubrava and Črnomerec, which proved to be one of the key organizational elements of the race. In 2005, the half marathon race was introduced.[3] The 2020 edition of the race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia, with registrants also having the option of running the race virtually.[4][5]
