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

Held since 1976, the race has attracted a large number of Europe's best ultramarathon runners, most notably from Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Poland and, of course, Croatia.

Starting at the Ban Jelačić statue on Zagreb's main square, Trg bana Jelačića (pictured), the first 27 kilometres are run on a busy main road which is not closed to traffic for the time of the race.

The second half of the route runs on much quieter roads through rolling countryside. The final kilometre to the finish line at Čazma's imposing Romanesque 13th-century church is uphill.

The time limit to complete the course is seven hours.

Registration for the race is free.

After lunch and the award ceremony, there will be a free bus service from Čazma back to Zagreb.
