Today, Rabac is a well-known tourist resort. By the middle of the 19th century, it was a small fishermen village with hardly ten houses. Due to the beautiful bay and splendid, tame surroundings, it soon attracted first visitors. In 1876, Richard Francis Burton, an English writer, and a passionate traveler, was among the first tourists who stayed in Rabac. Having seen Rabac and other places on the Istrian coast, he wrote a book of the same title ‘The Istrian coast’, describing, among other things, the beauties and charm of Rabac.
But Rabac offers much more than that. The breathtaking trails located in the vicinity will simply amaze you with their beauty but don’t be fooled, the course is technical and hard. Valamar Trail has captivated runners locally and internationally and It has quickly grown to become one of the best trail races in Croatia.
And of course, we do care about each trail runner, so we offer three different courses, from the short GREEN trail to the prestigious 50 miles race. With the start/finish line situated next to the sealine, this is probably one of the most beautiful places to start your adventure.
