About Hvar

As a Croatian coastal gem and island paradise, Hvar is renowned for its lively culture, historical charm, and breathtaking landscapes. Widely considered one of Europe's most beloved destinations, it offers the perfect backdrop for the ultimate athletic challenge.

The Spartan Race seamlessly integrates into this stunning environment. Athletes will tackle a dynamic course featuring open-water swims, floating obstacles, and technical running along rocky shores and pristine beaches. The route also includes a 30% city run connecting major landmarks through the charming cityscape, utilizing a mix of existing trails and newly carved paths before culminating in a challenging climb to the island's iconic fortress.

How To Get To Hvar

Flying into Split Airport is your best and most convenient option to reach the Spartan World Championship, with frequent airport transfers connecting you straight to the ferry port.

To ensure a smooth journey to the race, foot passengers should book a fast catamaran directly to Hvar Town, while athletes traveling with vehicles must take the car ferry to Stari Grad.

Boat capacity to the island is limited so we strongly recommends booking your ferry or catamaran tickets online well in advance!
