The upcoming SPARTAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HVAR, CROATIA, which will be held at the announcement press conference held at Hotel Zonar, in Zagreb, was revealed from 10 to 13 October 2024 on the island of Hvar, in the town of Hvar. The Spartan Race World Championship will be one of the biggest sporting events to be held in Croatia and the region.
The expected number of more than 3.000 competitors from more than 30 countries of the world speaks in favor of this, as does the fact that the event will be provided with national and international TV coverage in more than 40 foreign broadcasting markets.
On Thursday, October 10, 2024, along with the parade of nations and the ceremonial opening, the four-day spectacle will begin in which athletes will compete in three different disciplines - obstacle races at 100 meters, five kilometers and ten kilometers. Although the biggest motivation for each of the competitors will be the desire to be crowned world champion, it is important to note that a generous prize fund of EUR 100.000 has been secured, which is the largest prize fund in the history of the Spartan World Championships. Special excitement is certainly brought by the 100-meter hurdles discipline, which, precisely because of its dynamic and televised character, will be part of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028.
The press conference witnessed the exceptional support of those without whom the realization of the event would not have been possible, including Tomislav Druzak, State Secretary of the Central State Office for Sports, Rikard Novak, Mayor of the Town of Hvar, Stipe Čogelja, Deputy Prefect of the Split-Dalmatia County, and Joe De Sena, Executive Director Spartan among others. Their enthusiastic approval reflects the monumental importance of the event.
