Events and Activities

There are numerous ways in which we can immerse ourselves in a new place and culture. Running is one of the latest ways to actively and somewhat adventurously explore a new destination and the local way of living, and in our destination running has a long tradition on both sides of the border where our local clubs work hard for the well-being and the success of their members, as well as organize successful regional races.

If you are a runner this can be a great way to immerse yourself in a new place and meet new people; explore different local trails and sights - see parts of our local communities you would not normally see.

Contact our clubs, ask them for recommendations, and check if they can provide a guided running tour for you:

"Zelene stope" Association, Bihac, BA
- for the development of outdoor sports, nature conservation and promotion of a healthy and sustainable life  
The members of this excellent association from Bihac just love to run on natural, mountain trails, and that was reason enough for them to become the founders of the "Pljesevica Trail League" and gather all trail running enthusiasts and those who will become one. In their own words: "our desire is to gather and strengthen local trail running communities, all through socializing and recreational competitions in the magical wilderness of the Pljesevica mountain". We will follow and cover this league separately in the new 2025 season and invite all you trail running lovers to join them!
