This year’s CRO Race once again proves that top-tier sport and the beauty of Croatia are a perfect match. Six stages will lead the world’s best cyclists from the sunny Dalmatian coast, across the Kvarner islands and Istrian hills, all the way to the green heart of Croatia and the grand finale in Zagreb. Every kilometer of the race reveals a new postcard of the country, showcasing its natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and authentic experiences.
The journey begins in vibrant Split and continues toward Seget, an authentic Mediterranean setting. The peloton then follows the coast from Biograd na Moru to Novalja, passing near Lake Vrana and Zadar as it heads toward the unique landscape of the island of Pag. Next comes a stage connecting the island of Krk and picturesque Labin, blending the beauty of Kvarner and Istria, while the fourth stage from Pula to Rijeka leads from the ancient Amphitheater, along the Adriatic coast and the slopes of Učka, to Croatia’s largest port.
The race’s conclusion reveals a completely different side of Croatia. Karlovac, the city on four rivers, opens the door to the continent’s green landscapes on the route to Sveta Nedelja, while the grand finale leads from charming Samobor to lively Zagreb, where the winner of this year’s CRO Race will be decided.
