Dubrovnik Half Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Dubrovnik Half Marathon is the main race of Du Motion, a running weekend held in Dubrovnik in April that also includes Run The Wall, a 5K charity race and a kids' race. It starts and finishes on Stradun, the main street of the Old City, at 9:30 on Sunday morning. The out-and-back route leaves the Old City past the Ploče Gate and Pile, then follows Vukovarska Street and the coast roads along the port, through Batahovina, Sustjepan and Čajkovići to a turnaround at Komolac. Runners then return the same way to Pile Gate and the finish on Stradun. The organisers describe the race as demanding but striking. The time limit is three hours, and entries are capped at 1,000 runners. The first Dubrovnik International Half Marathon was held in 2015. The tenth Du Motion in 2026 brought almost 3,000 runners from 55 countries across all of its races, and the half marathon record is 1:06:30, set by Dario Ivanovski of North Macedonia in 2026.
