The marathon route showcases several of Split’s best-known areas. The organiser highlights landmarks and neighbourhoods including Diocletian’s Palace, the Riva, Poljud Stadium, Marjan and the Žnjan–Stobreč coastal area.

Split Marathon registration
Registration is handled through the official Split Marathon platform. Entry fees rise in stages as race weekend approaches, so runners should check the current registration page rather than relying on prices from older editions.
Before registering, confirm the race category, start information, competition rules and any medical or eligibility requirements on the official event website.
Getting to Split for the marathon
International visitors usually arrive through Split Airport, by intercity bus, ferry or car. If you are flying, our Split Airport to City Centre guide compares the main transfer options.
February is outside the peak summer season, so transport schedules and opening hours can differ from July and August. Check current airline, ferry and bus timetables before travelling.
Where to stay for Split Marathon 2027
For race weekend, staying in central Split makes it easier to reach the Riva start area on foot and avoid relying on early-morning transport. CroParadise offers hostel rooms and apartments in central Split; browse the current options on our Split accommodation page.
When choosing accommodation, check the walking route to the Riva and allow extra time on race morning because road closures and event logistics can affect normal traffic.
