12th Half Marathon Jaska 2010
Jastrebarsko (Croatia), Sunday 23 May 2010
The Jaska Half Marathon follows a very hilly route through the lovely wine-growing region near Jastrebarsko, a small town located approximately 40 kilometres to the south-west of Croatia's capital Zagreb.
The start and finish are on the main square of Jastrebarsko (also called "Jaska" by the locals). The town is easy to reach as it's on the motorway and the railway line from Zagreb to the Adriatic Sea.
The race travels up and down the lower slopes of the densely wooded Žumberak-Samobor Hills (Žumberak-Samoborsko gorje). The route runs along quiet country lanes through fields, meadows, vineyards, woods and villages.
The first half of the course is mainly uphill, the second half downhill, but you should expect some short steep climbs in between.
In 2009, the winners were Janez Marojević, multiple Croatian Marathon Champion from the island of Hvar, in a time of 1:14:58, and Slovenia's outstanding masters athlete Ida Šurbek (1:28:29).
