We designed this route for those who want to challenge themselves and love to give their best in a competition. The route is difficult, with a lot of increase in altitude compared to the distance, and the section Strunga – Sânitilia Mare will test runners’ physical and mental abilities, especially if we’ll have a sunny day.
