Athletes from Bihac are among the best at the Željava Air Base Half Marathon

The start and finish of the race were located next to the recognizable Douglas C-47 Skytrain Dakota plane, while most of the course led along the flat and fast runway of the former air base.

The program of the event included three main races – a recreational “fun run” of approximately 3.5 kilometers, a 10-kilometer race and a half-marathon with a length of 21.098 kilometers. Children’s races up to 400 meters are also organized for the youngest.

The organizers of the event are the Marathon 2000 Athletic Club, the Plitvička Jezera Municipality and the Tourist Board of the Plitvička Jezera Municipality, with the support of the main sponsor Jane.

Competitors of the Bihać Athletics Club competed in a 3.5-kilometer race, and the club states that the goal was to combine competition, socializing and spending time in nature, which was fully achieved.

– Today, a group of our high school students decided to participate in this competition. The goal was to run, socialize and enjoy nature, and we managed to achieve all three goals. The results of the run are excellent – the club announced.

Young athletes from Bihać stood out in the overall standings: second place was won by Džana Hodžabegović, third by Aiša Hodžabegović, while Faris Hodžić and Vedad Vikić took fifth and sixth place, respectively.
