Mostar half sub‑2
A runner named Harry posted a just‑under‑2‑hour finish at the Mostar Half Marathon and praised the scenic, cevapi‑lined course — a nice shout for spring destination runs. The post underscores how route quality can make a fast performance feel effortless. (x.com)
The Rolla Mostar Half Marathon for 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, with a mass start at 08:30 from the Vojno–Potoci bridge and the finish line set in front of Mepas Mall. (en.mostar.run) Organizers describe the course as relatively flat and fast, point‑to‑point and AIMS‑certified, routing runners across six city bridges, skirting the UNESCO‑listed Stari Most and crossing the Neretva River multiple times. (mostar.run) Race entries for the half were capped at 1,500 and the organisers published a “WE ARE FULL” notice after the field closed, while the wider Mostar Run Weekend has previously drawn thousands of participants from dozens of countries. (en.mostar.run) The event fields elite competitors as well as recreational runners: the 2024 men’s winner, Shedrack Kiptoo Kimaiyo, finished in 1:07:48, and the organisers offer free or discounted entry for elite men under 1:15:00 and elite women under 1:22:00 (conditions apply). (raport.ba) Mostar promotes the half as a “racing postcard” for visitors, and the city’s culinary reputation is part of that draw—Mostar’s cevapi are regularly listed among the town’s signature dishes and top local restaurants advertise them to tourists. (kinezis.ba) Event logistics listed on the organiser site include timed chips, pacers, shuttle buses to the start, drink and nutrition stations along the route, and finisher kit items such as medals and T‑shirts for registrants who signed up before March 1.
