Ston

Reported by Salil Wilson 4.0 km

Today we hosted a Peace Race in Ston, a village and municipality in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County of Croatia.

Današnji domaćin Utrke Mira je Ston, gradić i općina u Dubrovačko-neretvanskoj županiji.

The race took place along the streets and walls in the city.

Utrak se održala po ulicama i zidinama grada.

The Great Wall outside the town has a circumference of 5 km and part of the race took place upon this majestic wall.

Stonske zidine izvan grada dugačke su 5km i dio trke odvijao se na tim veličanstvenim zidinama.

Drsalu, from Austria, was proud to find himself on the poster promoting the race.
