7th Slavonski Brod Half Marathon 2010

With around 100 participants, the Slavonski Brod polumaraton is a rather small running event, held in the Slavonia region in eastern Croatia.

The event is staged in Slavonski Brod, a town of about 60,000 inhabitants, located on the River Sava half-way between Zagreb and Belgrade.

Slavonski Brod is an important crossing point into Bosnia, which is just across the river. The town was heavily damaged in 1992 during the Yugoslav Wars.

The start and the finish are on Slavonski Brod's main square. The course is flat, fast and scenic. Entrants run out-and-back on a traffic-free road on the dike along the Sava.

Entry fees are low, all participants get a warm meal after the race, and a free bus takes runners from Zagreb and Varaždin to the event and back home.

Within the last years, many elite runners from neighbouring countries have taken part in the race.

In 2009, the winners were Ethiopia's Ashenafi Erkolo (1:09:05), who lives in Hungary, and Mariana Lukić of Serbia (1:22:30).
