ABOUT ŠKOJATLON

Three islets in front of the port of Pakoštane, become a picturesque arena for a new race in Croatian sport almanac – Škojatlon. In an exchanging running and swimming rhythm, the race connects the islet of St Justina, whose chapel has become a trademark of Pakoštane, with Veli Škoj, whose ancient fort guards the city and Babuljaš, the last of the three. The start and final run go through the center of Pakoštane and its long seafront, while the islet sections are short and challenging trail miniatures. ​
