What is Ultra Race Romania?

Just think of running / walking / crawling 250km in 6 stages (7 days) in a part of Romania with beautiful green landscapes, where the legends of the past are still a way of living and the blend of history, culture and the beauty of the nature makes it a must do on one runner’s bucket list.

With 2 stages of 6  over 44 km - which could count as two ultra marathons just one after the other - competitors have to cover 250km (155 miles) with 11.000m (36.000ft) elevation gain,  in 6 stages, in a beautiful but challenging terrain carrying all they need to survive for the whole week.

“When we first thought about this race we promised ourselves to bring the competitors in a part of Romania where “legends meet” so that they have the opportunity to run in a beautifully legendary landscape and have the journey of a lifetime. Each stage is designed in such way that instantly transports the runners in places full of stories that cannot wait to be discovered”, confessed the 2 race directors, Andrei Gligor and Daniel Nica, two ultra runners friends who raced multi-stage self-sufficient races all over the world in the past years.
