Recreational runners' club from Osijek and beyond
Thirteen seasons, two leagues, and a race every Saturday.

Who we are
Udruga Zdravo Trčanje brings together recreational runners from Osijek, Valpovo, and all of Slavonia. We organize two leagues that follow one after another: in summer we run in Valpovo, and the rest of the year in Osijek — so we have a race every Saturday, all year round.
For us, running is about recreation and health, not competition. Whole families show up at the start: participants range from four or five to 81 years old, with children making up the largest age group. Those who don't run, walk — walking and Nordic walking are both welcome, and there's no time limit.
Runners come to our races from Valpovo, Belišće, Bistrinci, Ladimirevci, Petrijevci, Osijek, Našice, Donji Miholjac, Đurđenovac, Slatina, and Zagreb, and sometimes even from abroad.

An ultramarathoner who writes every announcement and every set of results personally, and signs them the way everyone knows him: "Ultramaratonac Elvir Rakipović".
He personally trains members preparing for their first marathon — long stretches under supervision, with a car following and refreshments along the way. His wife Andrea and son Luka help him with everything.

What the club lives on
The club has only two sources of income: entry fees and membership fees. The entry fee is €2 per round, and children run for free — which doesn't cover the league's costs. Membership fees cover the difference, so every member literally makes one more Saturday of running possible.

We don't just run
"Leave that competitive spirit for the 'more serious' races."
