Host city

Brașov – a historic, European tourist city

What could be better than running in one of the world's most important running competitions? Especially when it takes place in one of the most beautiful travel destinations.

Don't just take our word for it, National Geographic agrees: Brașov is easily accessible, connected by European highways, the railway network, and a recently opened international airport.
