Split Half Marathon

Course & Elevation

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.
