The 27th Festival of Sport and Recreation \u201cHomo si te\u0107 \/ Rijeka Run\u201d will take place from April 4 to April 18, 2026. Over the course of three weekends, visitors and participants can look forward to a rich program of continuous activities, numerous races, competitions, and entertainment events, in yet another edition of the largest street sports event in Croatia.<\/p>\n
The grand finale is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2026, when more than 15,000 participants are expected to join a wide range of competitive and recreational races. On that day, the city center will transform into a vibrant open-air playground, hosting a unique sports, recreational, and entertainment program. Professional athletes and recreational runners alike will have the opportunity to enjoy running through streets closed to traffic, experiencing the city in a completely new and inspiring way.<\/p>\n
As part of the 27th edition of \u201cHomo si te\u0107,\u201d a sports equipment fair will also be organized, along with a charity sale of official festival T-shirts and presentations by Rijeka\u2019s amateur and professional sports clubs and associations. This segment of the festival offers visitors the chance to explore the local sports community and discover various initiatives that promote an active and healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n
As every year, the charity campaign \u201cI Run and Help!\u201d will once again be an important part of the festival. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the official festival T-shirt will be donated to a local Rijeka association or institution, selected by the Festival Organizing Committee, that provides support to socially vulnerable groups within the community.<\/p>\n
Through this initiative, the Festival of Sport and Recreation \u201cHomo si te\u0107 \/ Rijeka Run\u201d has so far raised funds for numerous associations, institutions, and civic initiatives. Among the beneficiaries are Kantrida Children\u2019s Hospital, the Social Supermarket, the Association for People with Intellectual Disabilities \u201cSrce Rijeka,\u201d the Down Syndrome Association \u201cRijeka 21,\u201d the \u201cMy Place Under the Sun\u201d program supporting children living in disadvantaged social and economic conditions, the Rijeka Sports Federation for Persons with Disabilities, and the Society for Pediatric Surgery.<\/p>\n
