Dear runners,

we are delighted to announce the third edition of the Zagreb Advent Run's humanitarian race for diabetes, which will be held on Sunday, December 16, 2018 with start and finish in front of The Westin Zagreb Hotel! This year's edition of the race is devoted to raising awareness of the importance of physical activity throughout the year, especially for people with diabetes. Namely, in 2017, the number of deaths from diabetes in Croatia has increased for the worse 23 percent compared to the previous year. Therefore, part of the funds collected from the race event will be donated to the Croatian Association of Diabetic Associations as a support for programs and projects implemented by the Association.

In addition to the 5 and 10 kilometers course, leading through the heart of the city, the #ZAR2018 welcomes walkers to join the 5km track too.

Follow the event on our facebook.com/runcroatia site with the latest information about the program, the award quiz, the humanitarian campaign and the contest for the best Christmas costume!
