Held annually in September on the Pelješac peninsula in southern Dalmatia in Croatia, the Ston Wall Marathon is a lovely small running event that usually attracts approximately 200 to 250 runners from around the globe.
Three races are on offer: 4km, 15km and 42.2km marathon.
Starting and finishing in the medieval salt-producing fortress town of Ston, all three races are very hilly and scenic.
The first four kilometres of the route take the runners to the fishing village of Mali Ston and then back to Ston along the 14th-century Great Wall which connects Ston and Mali Ston across the hillsides (pictured).
The remaining 38 kilometres of the marathon are run, mainly out and back, on asphalt and gravel roads through pine forests and along picturesque bays, passing Ston's vast saltpans.
