Swap screens for sunsets

Love Trails Croatia is a week dedicated to the lost arts of adventure, movement and connection. This is the running experience your body & mind needs now more than ever.

Designed to feel like a retreat crossed with the best group running holiday you've ever been on. Swap meetings for mountains, notifications for nature and routines for adventure. This is your chance to unplug from the digital world and immerse yourself in nature for a life changing week on a Mediterranean island.

The lost arts of adventure, movement and connection.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

A week of adventure, movement, connection and everything in between. Check out some of the highlights from the week:

01/07

Boost your confidence with adventures on and off the trail

Guided runs and hikes, all shaped to help you explore the wild setting of Krk, Croatia. The trails here are varied, from mountain peaks to coastal trails, to oak forests - there’s something from everyone.

Hanging out in the sun with new friends

There’s no better feeling. Post Croatian trail run or hike, or perhaps in between movement or breathwork classes, catch some rays & and ice cream in and around Baska with new friends. Days here are laid back, social & sun kissed. 

Inspirational sea dips and island exploring on foot and by boat

Plenty of in-built free time to explore your new home. Explore solo, with new friends, or we'll host community gatherings for sea swims, walks, boat trips and exploring the town at different paces.

Rejuvenate with sauna, movement, yoga, breathwork & more

Hand-picked progressive coaches and movement artists will lead you through contemporary yoga, movement, calisthenics & wellness sessions 

Achieve the Timed Out™ immersive trail race experience

A highlight of last year: an original event concept, designed to feel like a mash-up of competitive stage racing and a festival. Race the legs, and then pause for an extended period at the immersive ‘aid-stations’, set out more like pop-up festival experiences along the route.

Celebrate physical achievement & a sense of belonging

Quality DJ sets and live acts, high fidelity sound systems, stunning coastal settings and pop-up remote stages and installations create the ultimate backdrop to parties and performances taking place all week.

Unplug & take a moment. Craft experiences mid- hike or run

Lose yourself in the moment taking part in a craft, upcycle, creative or art workshop during your time at Love Trails Croatia. 

Five island days that'll feel like five weeks.

The holiday is loosely structured around four different ways of spending a week on Krk Island. Some people arrive drawn to one or two, but many end up doing bits from all of these programme pillars.
