The jubilee 20th edition of the international trekking race \u0160kraping, held this past Saturday in Tkon on the island of Pa\u0161man, has officially made history as the largest and most significant to date. More than a record-breaking 1,500 competitors from 18 countries across the globe gathered on the start lines, turning the sharp Pa\u0161man karst into a global stage where professional athletes, sports enthusiasts, and families united under the humanitarian slogan \u201cFor Their First Breath.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under ideal weather conditions, runners tested their limits across four demanding trails, while the entire event resonated with a noble mission: collecting funds from registration fees for the purchase of a central monitoring system for newborns at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Zadar General Hospital.<\/p>\n
The competitive segment was marked by the absolute dominance of a \u0160kraping legend. Daniel Krstulovi\u0107 Opara once again confirmed his status as the king of the sharpest karst, winning the most difficult Marathon category (45 km). In the men’s competition, he was followed by Duje D\u017ein and Andrija Ro\u010dak, while Jadranka \u017dili\u0107 triumphed in the women\u2019s marathon, ahead of Lucija Kri\u017eanac Mihaljevi\u0107 and Valerija Jelenc.<\/p>\n
In the Challenger category (25 km), the fastest were Grega Brglez and Tamara Ravnak. The Active trail (12 km) was won by Antonio Erceg and Doris Bla\u017eevi\u0107, while the shortest, Light trail (6 km), saw victories from Mark Pisek and Tara Baksa, who completed the course in an impressive 53 minutes and 50 seconds.<\/p>\n
The Director of the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Tkon, Jelena Ugrini\u0107, emphasized that organizing this jubilee edition was a massive logistical feat. The record number of participants required maximum engagement at all refreshment points, ensuring top-tier support for every runner. With participants arriving from as far as the USA, Sweden, and Norway, \u0160kraping has solidified its status as a world-renowned sports brand.<\/p>\n
The official program began with the opening of the Island Product Fair, inaugurated by State Secretary Zrinka Ragu\u017e. The fair brought together the best local producers and holders of the “Croatian Island Product” (HOP) label, offering visitors a direct experience of the authentic flavors and traditions of Pa\u0161man, which is crucial for the sustainable development of the islands.<\/p>\n
The 20th-anniversary climb over the Pa\u0161man rocks also attracted numerous public figures who participated strictly in a personal and sporting capacity. Damir Habijan successfully finished the 25 km Challenger trail, highlighting the unique atmosphere of \u0160kraping that cannot be experienced anywhere else. He was joined on the trail by \u0160ime Erli\u0107, who spent the race in a family setting, emphasizing the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle and the natural beauty of the island.<\/p>\n
Beyond sporting success, the 20th \u0160kraping confirmed its inclusivity with the participation of members of the Association of the Blind. The humanitarian character remained in focus, as the funds raised from registration fees will enable the purchase of life-saving equipment for the Zadar maternity ward. The central monitoring system for newborns will serve as a lasting legacy of this historic jubilee.<\/p>\n
The organizing team, led by the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Tkon, the Municipality of Tkon, and the utility company Orli\u0107 Ltd., expresses gratitude to all volunteers, members of the HGSS (Croatian Mountain Rescue Service), DVD Tkon (Volunteer Fire Department), and all partners and sponsors who made it possible for Tkon and Pa\u0161man to once again become a center for sporting excellence and human solidarity.<\/p>\n
