Being in Makarska Croatia in July and August is just great with beautiful clear water and sunshine all day. During the day it is very warm and therefore I would recommend to run in the morning around 6.00, and take some water. Another advantage is that there are not so many people around at this time either. I found two running trails, which I liked much during my stay in Makarska, and these I want to share in this blog.

Markarska to Marina Manova – 7 km

This running path I like a lot. After leaving Makarska you enter the wood and thereafter a cliff part. At the habour is a nice hill and viewpoint. I would estimate the hill ca. 250 m long and quite difficult to run up to, at least for me. I meet a guy who trained there and run the hill several times up and down. For me it was sufficient to do it one time. If you like there are several good spots to take a bath and swim a little during the running training. The sunset picture in top of this blog is taken there.

Markarska to Nogal Beach – 9 km

The trail to Nogal Beach is something I am stronly recommending, if you are visiting Makarska. You will run quite a lot in Makarska and it is good to start early and take some water to drink with you. The Makarska halv island is already exiting and there is an old church you will run up to. The you cross the habour and enter a wood which is very good to run. This includes also some up and down parts. In the end you will have a beautiful view on the Nogal Beach. I was there at sunrise and it is an unforgettable moment.

    Dear Matthias,
    das sind ja wunderbare Bilder, die mich faszinieren. Wie schön du deine anspruchsvolle Lauf Strecke beschrieben hast. Du erlebtest beim morgendlichen Laufen die wunderschöne Natur der Küste Markarska s. Am Morgen ist es sowieso am Schönsten, wenn die meisten noch schlafen.
    Heute Früh bin ich auch schon auf und bereite mir einen Kaffee zu.
    Deine Nachricht ist so perfekt, um daran teil zu haben.
    Du bist ein sehr guter Läufer, wenn du solch anspruchsvolle Laufstrecken schaffst.
    Überall, wo du bist, läufst du, das bewundere ich.
    Sehr schön!
    Bekommst du einige Nachrichten, von Freunden oder Interessierten?
    Sende sie doch einmal deinen deutschen Freunden.
    Ganz liebe Umarmung für dich!
    Küsschen, deine Mama Charlotte
