The Split Half Marathon is a 21.1 km road race through Split on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, run on a Sunday morning in mid-February as part of the Split Marathon weekend. It is currently branded the Tommy Half Marathon and starts from the Riva, the waterfront promenade beside Diocletian's Palace. The half marathon was first held in 2001, at first only inside Marjan Forest Park, and since 2007 it has started and finished on the Riva. In 2015 the course changed to a loop that keeps the start and finish on the Riva and goes around a large part of the city. The organisers describe the route as leading from the Riva and Diocletian's Palace through the city to the green areas of Marjan, with views of the sea. A full marathon was added to the programme only in 2020, and today the half marathon shares the Sunday with the marathon and a 10 km race, while family 5 km and 2 km runs take place on the Saturday afternoon. The Split Marathon organisers also stage a summer night race over 5 km and 21 km, the Split Night Half, in August. The 2026 edition of the Split Marathon weekend drew about 4,500 runners from 65 countries across all distances.

The Race
Split
The Split Half Marathon was first held in 2001 and for its first years was run exclusively in the Marjan Forest Park. Since 2007 it has started and finished on the Riva, and in 2015 the course was redrawn as a loop around a large part of the city while keeping the start and finish on the waterfront.
For nineteen years the race in Split was only a half marathon. The 20th edition in 2020 was the first in which a full marathon was run alongside it, and the organisers marked the anniversary with a race on the sand of Bačvice beach and a relay with four city mayors.
