Brač 100K swim fundraiser near finish

Entities: Stjepan Lukšić · More snage Brač · Brač · Ranko Dragičević · Ivana Maričić

Overview

Croatian swimmer Stjepan Lukšić began a ten‑day, 100‑kilometre ultramarathon around the island of Brač on 27 July 2026, turning the challenge into a community‑wide fundraiser for the cancer‑support organisation More snage Brač. Local officials, including the mayor of Supetar and county representatives, organized supportive events such as a climb of Vidova Gora, harbour welcomes in Bol, and public appeals, while volunteers and fellow swimmers joined to raise visibility.

By 30 July 2026, Lukšić was in the final stage of the swim with less than 20 km remaining, drawing broad participation from residents, firefighters, doctors and public figures. All proceeds were directed to More snage Brač via the Red Cross of Brač to fund a dedicated psychotherapist and provide psychological counselling for cancer patients and their families.

On 2 August 2026, Lukšić entered the last day of the challenge, less than ten kilometres from Supetar, where he was expected to complete one of the most demanding amateur sports feats attempted on the island. Friends, medical staff, firefighters and local residents continued to provide moral support and aid stations, and organisers invited the public to gather in Supetar at noon to celebrate the swimmer’s achievement and reinforce the charitable cause.
