Day 1
Tues, 29th Sept: Arrival in Baška + Opening Social, 4km Shakeout Run & Pasta Party
Welcome to Baška. Arrive, drop your bags and ease yourself into the week ahead. Lace up for an optional, gentle 4km shakeout run to loosen the travel legs and get your bearings around town before the adventure begins.
Then join the festival opening party/social at Club Porto, right next door to our accommodation hub, where the vibes spill out onto the beach and rolls into the evening. Refuel at the pasta party, raise a glass with your new Love Trails family, and set the stage for an unforgettable week to come.
Day 2
Weds, 30th Sept: All Trails Lead to Jablanova + Afternoon DJ Set with GUTS
Morning begin with the sea on your doorstep: shakeout runs, breathwork and sea dips on Baška Beach, yoga in the garden, prehab on the lawn. Start stretched, settled and ready for the trails.
Today every path leads to the same place: Jablanova cove, where French crate-digger GUTS spins his signature blend of hip-hop, funk, Afrobeat, jazz and Latin grooves against the backdrop of the Adriatic. However you get there is up to you.
Choose your run: ease in with the 7km Mindful Miles experience with Waking Dreams (9.30am), go further on the 12km Breathwork on the Beach run (10.00am), or keep it short and social on a 5km run led by one of the Europe's leading running crews (10.30am).
Prefer to take it slow? Pick your hike to Jablanova: tune into the landscape on the Auntie Flo Biosonification experience, where field recordings and live sound-art turn the trail into an acoustic ecology (9.45am); play, breathe and balance with the Movement Project (10.15am); or build connection step by step with on a connection focused hike experience (10.45am). Each hike runs around three hours, with the cove and the music waiting at the end.
As the light fades, gather for a long-table shared dinner at the hotel — big plates, longer conversations and the kind of table where strangers become trail family. Then settle in for an evening of adventure and outdoor film under the stars, celebrating the wild places that bring us all here.
Day 3
Thurs, 1st Oct: Run to Swim, Sound & Craft on the Trails + Live Music on the Beach
Today the trails open up in every direction — pick the experience that calls you.
Choose your run: keep it playful on the 5km Movement Project run with Neil Frankel (9.30am), earn your dip on the 14km Run to Swim (10.00am), or follow the 12km trail to a secret pop-up live music performance hidden somewhere in the hills (10.30am).
Or choose your hike: tune into the landscape on the Auntie Flo Field Recordings experience, capturing the sounds of the trail as you go (9.45am, 2.5hrs); drift into Mindful Miles complete with a trailside soundbath (10.15am, 2.5hrs); or go long on the 4-hour Hike to Swim, finishing in the cool of the Adriatic (10.45am).
Beyond the trails, today is rich with extras. Sample local vintages at a wine tasting from a nearby vineyard, slow down with craft experiences on the trail and back at the hotel — customisation, sewing and creative writing workshops — and remember the hotel sauna and steam room are open and free to use, today and every day.
As night falls, the beach comes alive for a live music concert under the stars — acts to be announced.
Day 4
Fri, 2nd Oct: Timed Out™ Immersive Trail Race + Maribou State Post-Race Party
Today's the big one. Timed Out™ is our original race concept — a mash-up of competitive stage racing and full-blown festival. Race the legs between checkpoints, then pause at the immersive 'aid-stations', reimagined as pop-up festival experiences along the route. Think craft workshops, breathwork, yoga and surprise DJ sets waiting for you. (Pick from either 6km or 17km race distances)
Ease in first with a 7am shakeout run then take your pick of 7.30am sessions: Breathwork and a Sea Dip on the beach, Awaking Yoga in the garden, or Mobility for Runners on the lawn.
After the race, sunset movement sessions roll out in the two hours before dusk to help tired legs recover.
Then comes the night Love Trails Croatia has been building towards: Maribou State headline the post-race party. The acclaimed English duo bring their blend of downtempo house, UK bass and soulful, live-instrument electronica to send race day off in style.
Day 5
Sat, 3rd Oct: Adventure Boat Trip & Sunset Lighthouse Hike — The Grand Finale
The last day of Love Trails Croatia, and we're going out in style.
Ease into the morning with your pick of movement: a run experience with Waking Dreams, full of movement snacks and play, or a hike built around mindful movement and connection.
Then it's all aboard for the adventure boat trip — a guided swim-run along the coast, or head out on a boat party with a DJ set, featuring that unforgettable moment where we all leap off the deck into the Adriatic together.
And for the hero finale: an 8km hike to the lighthouse for a live music performance at sunset, led by the Love Trails crew. Watch the sun drop into the sea to a soundtrack you'll never forget — then wind your way home under the stars (pack a head torch for the walk back!).

Programme Highlights
Jam packed with adventure, loosely structured around four different ways of spending a week on Krk Island. Some people arrive drawn to one or two, but most end up doing bits from all of these programme pillars:
ADVENTURES ACROSS MIND-BENDINGLY BEAUTIFUL MEDITERRANEAN TERRAIN
If you’re looking for proper adventure, a trip that gives you much more than a regular holiday, you’re in the right place.
FIND YOUR PEOPLE
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.
DISCOVER WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF
There’s a version of the week to maximise training, recovery, sleep, conditioning and pushing yourself surrounded by people on the exact same wavelength.
CREATIVE MOVEMENT & WELLBEING EXPERIENCES YOUR BODY & MIND ARE CRYING OUT FOR
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.
