A group of five happy hikers relaxes together on a metal bench against a warm sand-coloured wall, basking in golden evening light. Several hold ice cream cones, and two wear finisher medals around their necks, suggesting they've just completed a trail event. They're dressed in a mix of activewear and casual layers, with backpacks, a tote bag, and gear resting on the gravel around them. A potted palm and a leafy oleander shrub frame the scene, evoking a relaxed, sunny Mediterranean setting after a day on the trails.

A musician stands with their back to the camera, playing a coral-red electric guitar and singing into a microphone during a golden-hour performance. They wear a pink shirt and a colourful headband, framed against a soft pastel sunset sky. Below and in front of them, a relaxed crowd of festival-goers sits and reclines on a rugged, rocky hillside, many clapping and smiling as they watch. Backpacks and hiking gear rest among the stones, capturing the intimate, open-air spirit of a live music moment at a trail and adventure festival.

Two female hikers walk single file along a pine-lined ridge trail high above the Adriatic coast. Below them stretches the sweeping turquoise bay and crescent beach of Baška on the island of Krk, Croatia, with a seaside town nestled at the water's edge and rugged, sun-bleached mountains rising across the channel. Framed by windswept pine branches under a bright blue sky, the scene captures a sunny summer day of coastal trail hiking.

Love Trails Croatia is a week dedicated to the lost arts of adventure, movement and connection.

Designed to feel like a retreat crossed with the best group running holiday you've ever been on. This is the running experience your body & mind needs now more than ever. 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 world's first trail race that stops the clock for the best bits.

Every race you've ever run made you rush past the good stuff. Timed Out is the one that doesn’t. You race the legs against the clock. Then, the second you reach an 'aid station', the clock times out. It pauses. And the trail turns into a pop-up festival you're free to soak up for as long as you like — with zero penalty to your time. Think DJ sets, craft workshops, sea dips and yoga classes along the route.

Race hard. Then properly arrive. Socialise. Then do it all over again. It's the only race where stopping is the whole point.

HOW IT WORKS

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:

Timed Out™ - The world's first trail race that stops the clock for the best bits

Every race you've ever run made you rush past the good stuff. Timed Out is the one that doesn’t. Race timed legs across Krk's wild coastal trails. Then, at each aid station, the clock times out — and the trail becomes a pop-up festival. These aren't paper cups and energy gels. They're immersive experiences you'll actually want to linger in: sea dips, DJ sets, craft workshops, breath-work on the mountain top. Stay as long as you like. It won't cost you a second. Then you run again.

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

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.

Two hikers carefully make their way down through a narrow, rugged limestone gorge on a coastal trail. In the foreground, a man in a grey long-sleeve top, tan trousers, and a backpack braces his hands against the rock walls as he steps down between large boulders. Behind and above him, a second hiker in a cap and fleece descends the same scramble. Green shrubs and trailing vines spill over the warm, sun-bleached rock on either side, with a patch of blue sky overhead, capturing the adventurous, hands-on nature of technical trail hiking in Croatia.

If you’re looking for proper adventure, a trip that gives you much more than a regular holiday, you’re in the right place.

Looking to meet likeminded people? Whether you come solo, with a friend or partner, or in a group of mates, Love Trails Croatia is the place for you.

EXPLORE CONNECTION

A large pack of smiling trail runners surges forward at the start of a Love Trails Croatia race, pounding across a sunlit pebble beach. Many wear race bibs, running vests, caps, and sunglasses, full of energy as they set off. Two tall blue Love Trails Croatia banner flags flank the route, with the seaside town of Baška and its turquoise water visible to the right. Behind them, the green and grey slopes of Krk island's mountains rise under a bright blue sky scattered with fluffy white clouds, capturing the excitement and scale of the event. The alt text stays under the ~125-character limit. Keywords like runners, Love Trails Croatia, race, pebble beach, and Baška are woven in naturally — and here the branding is clearly visible, so naming the event strengthens both accuracy and SEO.

There’s a version of the week to maximise training, recovery, sleep, conditioning and pushing yourself surrounded by people on the exact same wavelength.

EXPLORE CAPABILITY

A group of people takes part in an outdoor yoga class on a sunlit pebble cove on the Croatian coast. Spread across colourful mats, they hold an extended triangle pose (Trikonasana) in unison, one arm reaching skyward. Behind them, rugged limestone cliffs dotted with wind-sculpted trees rise above calm, crystal-clear turquoise water under a bright blue sky. Running shoes and gear sit beside the mats, suggesting a post-run stretch or recovery session at a trail and wellness retreat in a beautiful Mediterranean setting.

This is the kind of week people come back from feeling genuinely different. It’s a place to reset, unplug, reconnect with yourself, nature, your mind and your body.

EXPLORE WELLBEING

“The week truly changed me for the better. Leaving with a full heart, new friends, and a fresh perspective on everything.”
