"Trebinje Awaits You at the End of Summer!" – say the organizers of the first SUN RUN Half Marathon, announcing that everything is ready and that a record number of runners will head to the south.
As part of the SUN RUN event, taking place from September 27 to 29, three races are planned: a half marathon and a 7-kilometer FAN RUN race for recreational runners (Saturday, September 28), and a children's joy race (Sunday, September 29).
"Everything is ready for the races! The first year is always the hardest, and we've put a lot of energy, love, and effort into organizing the best possible experience for our runners. We're ready to keep learning and improving year after year because we truly believe this event has the potential to become the premier sports event in our region. I even dare to say that this will become one of the signature events Trebinje is known for," says Slobodan Gutović, the visionary behind the race.
Gutović adds that this year's half marathon's main and title sponsor is BINGO, after which the race is named.
"We are very proud that the largest company in Bosnia and Herzegovina has recognized the potential of our event," says Gutović.
The distribution of race kits will take place on Friday, September 27, at Hotel Leotar. On race day, transportation for runners to the starting point at Crkvina Hill will be provided from the hotel.
"We're delighted that people have recognized the hard work and energy we've invested. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite all the citizens of Trebinje to come out on race day and support our participants. And for those who can, join us by volunteering at the event," says Helena Janjić, one of the organizers.
Registration for the races is open until September 20, and you can sign up at www.trebinje.run.
