Active Croatia: Cetina Adventure Race Highlights Inland Dalmatia

While the beaches and sun on the Dalmatian coast may attract most of the tourists, the potential of inland Dalmatia is slowly being recognised.

The 100km race, a combination of 50 km cycling, 18 km kayaking, 26 km running and 6 km canyoning, was a perfect opportunity to showcase both the beauty and adventure holiday potential of one of Europe's least discovered regions, and Digital Journal covered the whole event, albeit from the comfort of a car.
