So you've already eaten the sausages and drank the mulled wine, maybe you've skated on Trg kralja Tomislava. Think you've seen everything this year's Advent in Zagreb has to offer? Think again!

Streets will be closed to traffic throughout central Zagreb this Sunday, December 11, for the yearly Advent Fun Run. Open to both professional and recreational runners, this charity event will donate all proceeds to the non-profit Udruga Veliko srce malom srcu, a foundation for healthy hearts in children. 

Both beginning and ending at the Westin Hotel in the south-west of the city, the route snakes past several landmarks, including main square Trg bana Jelačića and the Meštrović Pavilion.

There are 5km and 10km events happening simultaneously, with the 10km splitting off at Medveščak and doubling back near Mirogoj Cemetery. 

The registration period to participate has passed, but if you want to see Santa or the gingerbread man running through the streets of Zagreb, don't miss the fun!

Start time: noon, December 11. Start & Finish: Westin Hotel, Kršnjavoga 1.
