Our favorite sporting event, the Omiš Half-Marathon, is bringing plenty of exciting changes this year! The first big news is that we’re swapping the familiar autumn breeze on the well-known course for the warm May sunshine. For the first time ever, the 9th Omiš Half-Marathon will take place in spring, on May 17, starting at 10 AM.
While many runners have grown used to racing through the Cetina Canyon in the fall, we’re sure you’ll love experiencing this stunning course in its greener, sunnier springtime edition.
With regular registrations now open, there’s no better time to dust off your running shoes and sign up for the freshest Omiš Half-Marathon yet!
A Spring Debut – and a Brand-New 10K Race
Along with the new date, this year’s edition brings another exciting change – a brand-new 10K race, officially named the 25% Marathon, but already affectionately nicknamed the "Quarterathon"! This is a unique chance for runners to make history as the very first winners of our new 10K event!
We’ve also adjusted the distance of our recreational race, shortening it from 6K to 5K and giving it a fitting new name – 100% Laganini! But don’t let the name fool you – many runners take this event seriously, and we expect competition to be just as fierce as in previous years.
And of course, we haven’t forgotten our youngest participants! There will be a special Kids’ Race, and children over the age of 12 are welcome to participate in the 5K recreational race with parental consent. Children under 12 may also join, but they’ll need both written parental consent and medical clearance from a sports doctor.
Registration Fees
The early bird registration period has ended, and we are now in the regular registration phase. The current fees are: €30 for the Half-Marathon (21K), €23 for the 10K race and €18 for the 5K recreational race.
From April 11, late registration fees will increase to €38, €30, and €25, respectively—so make sure to secure your spot early! All participants will receive a generously stocked race kit with their registration.
Group Discounts
Once again, we’re offering our popular 20% group discount for teams of 10 or more runners participating in any category. Groups will receive a 20% discount on the total registration fee at the time of payment.
To claim this discount, groups must notify the organizers in advance via email at omishalf@gmail.com, including proof of payment, the full names of all participants, and the race each participant is registered for.

-
1st place – €250
-
2nd place – €150
-
3rd place – €100

4th place – €70

A €100 bonus will be awarded to any runner who breaks the current course record (1:19:47 for women, 1:10:57 for men). The fastest runner from Omiš will also receive a €50 prize.
Additionally, the youngest and oldest participants will be recognized with special trophies!
Once again, in collaboration with Dinaridi Trails, we’re committed to meeting the expectations of both our participants and our fellow citizens—showcasing Omiš as a top sports destination for runners and athletes of all levels!
