Skraping
(pronounced : sh’kraping) – in full: « Skraping - International Tkon –
Island Pasman « is a unique international trekking race on sharp island
rocks belonging to the category of extreme sports. Skraping is held on
the island of Pasman in March every year, its upcoming event is
scheduled for 07th March 2015.
Before the start of the race the competitors are supplied with map of
the island with marked checkpoints to pass through in the shortest time
possible.
The race is divided into three categories:
«Ultra», approximately 40 km long,
«Light», of 20 km,
«Djir», a jogging of 10 km.
Skraping presents an interactive occasion for its participants from
Croatia, the neighbouring and other European countries, (850 of them in
2013), to get to know both the island and Croatia as a perfect place not
only for leisure but equally for an active kind of holidays.
The manifestation’s accompanying events, like the Island Fair of
traditional local products (holder of the prestigious “Croatian Island
Product” label) offer further insight in local food, music and
traditions.
Taking place in March, and constantly growing, Skraping has become not
only a trade mark and island’s window onto the world, but also a
relevant promoter of Croatia in the period before the main tourist
season.
