Zagreb (Croatia), Sunday 3 April 2016

The 61.35km Supermaraton from Croatia's capital Zagreb to the old town of Čazma is one of Croatia's oldest and most prestigious running events.

Held since 1976, the race has attracted a large number of Central and Eastern Europe's best ultra marathon runners, most notably from Hungary, Russia, Ukraine and Poland.

Starting at the Ban Jelačić statue on Zagreb's main square (pictured), the first 27km are run on a busy main road which is not closed to traffic.

The second half of the race is run on much quieter roads through rolling rural countryside. The final kilometre is uphill as the finish line is at Čazma's imposing Romanesque 13th-century church which stands on top of a hill.

Last year, the Supermaraton had 80 finishers. The winners were Robert Radojković of Croatia (3:54:35) and Neža Mravlje of Slovenia (4:18:48).

The time limit to complete the course is seven hours.
