This is a very scenic point to point journey along the Dalmatian coastline, from the western edge of Korcula Island to the historic old city of Dubrovnik. It's a 3-day challenge that's both satisfying and rewarding, yet tough enough to be a real challenge. The day one 50k ultra was a glorious traverse of continuous hills and vineyards, interspersed with bays and coastal paths, to end back in Korcula Town. From there on day two, we crossed to the mainland by SUP, ahead of a very hilly 66k cycle ride through vineyards and mostly quiet roads, with one particularly rewarding coastal and winding downhill after exiting a short road tunnel. The day ended with a thigh bursting walk along the steep ancient city walls of Ston, followed by a brief run to Broce, before being shuttled to that day's hotel.On the third and final day, we returned to the previous day's finish point to continue our journey, this time by sea kayak. A tough - even in calm seas - 14k paddle to the island of Sipan allowed you to then stretch your legs with a fast 6k run across the island, to a seaside cafe for lunch. From there it was another kayak paddle, this time of 18k, to a beach in the heart of Dubrovnik to finish. Don't underestimate the kayaking, especially if you're not used it. After two hard legs days, this was one to fully test your arms and shoulders.The organisation and support for this event was pleasingly very good, with the staff all keen to keep you fully informed and organised. The administration for the accommodation - so nice to have good hotels - and transport was smoothly efficient and you could see where your money was being spent. It was reassuring to have professional medics as part of the staff team, as much for their humour as any advice or practical help some may have needed, and also local guides for the water stages.We had perfect weather throughout, sunny and warm but not too hot. There may have been a slight chill in the evenings if eating outside, but the days were all t-shirt weather. Do spend a few extra days before or after the event, if you can, to enjoy Croatia further. You won't regret it.
