Dalmacija Ultra Trail

Dalmacija Ultra Trail (DUT) is a multi-distance trail running weekend on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, finishing at Omiš (city beach). The event is built around one main idea: choose a course that matches your experience—from a short, accessible trail to a full 100K-style ultra—while still getting the same “big race” atmosphere, marked routes, refreshment points, and strict cut-off times.

Races run over two days in October 2026 and all routes lead to Omiš. The flagship Mountain DUT is a 104.2 km ultra with 4,453 m of climbing, starting at the Klis Fortress and giving runners up to 26 hours to finish, with 7 refreshment points and ITRA/UTMB indexing (ITRA 4 points, UTMB 100K). On October 10, the programme continues with Sea DUT (56.2 km, +2,737 m; start in Makarska at 08:00; 15-hour limit; 5 refreshment points; ITRA 3 points; UTMB 50K), plus shorter options: Ethno DUT (29.1 km, +1,092 m; start in Žrnovnica at 11:00; 8-hour limit; 2 refreshment points; ITRA 1; UTMB 20K), River DUT (19.48 km, +1,009 m; start at Radmanove Mlinice at 13:00; 8-hour limit; 1 refreshment point; ITRA 1; UTMB 20K), and Easy DUT (about 10–11 km, ~+430 m; start in Omiš/Camp Galeb at 15:00; 4-hour limit; 1 refreshment point).

What to expect as a participant: significant elevation on every course (even the shorter ones), a point-to-point feel on most routes (different start locations, common finish), and time limits that reward steady pacing and good planning. Bring gear and nutrition suited for long climbs, variable weather, and an extended day on the trails—especially if you’re targeting the overnight Mountain DUT start.
