Saturday 5 September 2026
The Žumberačka utrka (‘Žumberak Run’) takes place annually in early September in the little village of Sošice, which is about 70 kilometres from Croatia's capital Zagreb.
Sošice is hidden in a remote corner of the Žumberak, an amazingly-beautiful and thinly-populated mountain region located on the border with Slovenia.
The event offers two road races, 6km and 15km long. Both are very hilly and scenic out-and-back races.
The children's races are held in the village.
