HOW CAN YOU GET THERE?

Umag is accessible via several international airports, including Pula (approx. 85 km), Trieste (approx. 90 km), and Ljubljana (approx. 150 km). We recommend using our convenient transfer options to reach your hotel and the event area directly from the airport.

On race day, official shuttle buses will take participants from Umag to their respective start locations in Labin, Buzet, Motovun, or Grožnjan, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.
