Hileja Marina Trail
14.11.2026
21222, Marina
Following the success of last year’s edition, Hileja Trail returns to Marina on 14 November 2026. The race combines sea and mountain landscapes, a sporting challenge, good company and the relaxed Dalmatian atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer after crossing the finish line.
The name Hileja takes us back to the distant past of this area, to the former Hyllean Peninsula, known to the ancient Greeks. In the same spirit, the three race routes are named after heroes from ancient mythology.
Three routes – choose your Hileja:
Heraklo – 15 km: The longest and most demanding route, designed for those looking for a true trail challenge and an opportunity to explore the hinterland of Marina.
Hil – 8 km: A perfect middle ground between the short and long routes, offering enough of a challenge while still leaving time to enjoy the trail.
Diomed – 4 km: Short and fast for those who want to race, but pleasant and accessible for those who prefer walking. An excellent choice for beginners, families and younger runners, as well as for those who enjoy giving it their all.
And after the race – fjaka. Hileja is more than just a race. Marina awaits in its peaceful autumn setting, with the start and finish near the iconic Marina Tower, good local food, socialising and an atmosphere worth staying for a few more hours.

Pučišća International Summer Music School and Bol Jazz Workshops
In 2026, the Pučišća International Summer Music School celebrates its 31st year of activity – three decades of dedication to music education, artistic creativity, and cultural exchange. Over the years, it has grown into one of the most renowned educational, musical, and cultural tourism projects in Croatia.
Throughout July and August, intensive ten-day workshops in classical, jazz, and popular music take place in Pučišća and Bol on the island of Brač. The programme covers almost all musical instruments and is based on daily individual instruction and ensemble performance. The teaching team consists of twenty distinguished professors from prestigious music academies in Croatia and abroad. Participants come from all over the world – Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania – giving the school a truly international character.
One of the school’s greatest strengths lies in its combination of education and public cultural engagement. The results of the participants’ work are showcased through a series of concerts across Brač, held in churches, galleries, town squares, and open-air venues. Participants perform as soloists and members of chamber ensembles, orchestras, and jazz groups, becoming active contributors to the island’s cultural scene through events such as Pučišća Summer and Bol Summer Festival.
Bol Jazz Workshops – 25 Years of Creative Freedom Through Music
In 2025, the Bol Jazz Workshops celebrate their 26th anniversary of continuous activity. Led by renowned musicians such as Nenad Jure Vrandečić and Saša Nestorović, alongside guest lecturers including Judy Niemack, the workshops bring together talented musicians who explore jazz as a space for freedom, improvisation, and intercultural dialogue.
Performances as part of the Bol Summer Festival, along with spontaneous jazz sessions in public spaces, further enrich the island’s vibrant summer soundscape.
Music Connecting the Community and the World
The project fosters strong ties with the local community through collaboration with local musicians, traditional Dalmatian klapa singing groups, brass bands, and cultural institutions. In doing so, it helps showcase and preserve the region’s cultural heritage while creating opportunities for new artistic experiences and knowledge from around the world.
Participants are motivated by a variety of aspirations: developing their musical skills, exchanging experiences, and performing in public. The inspiring setting, far removed from the pressures of everyday life, allows young musicians to create, learn, and grow in an atmosphere of collaboration, creativity, and professionalism.
The project also brings together families, friends, visitors, and tourists, creating a strong connection between the arts, the local community, and tourism. In this way, the International Summer Music School embodies the very essence of contemporary cultural development: education, mobility, cultural exchange, and sustainable cultural tourism.
