Romania 2022: Revolution Race, Bobalna, June 18-19th

The first time I wrote about this race was here: https://wordpress.com/post/runtheworld.blog/1455 This is the second edition, which had an extra touch: an obstacle race on Saturday, then Sunday the train run (5k, 10k, 21 and 42 km) Even though is more than one hour drive to the location, I have chosen to go back and … Continue reading Romania 2022: Revolution Race, Bobalna, June 18-19th

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2frTFKwfY04&t=19s Is my third time participating this race. First time, 2018 for the long course - 26k, second time 2019 for the shorter course - 16k and this year, even though I felt brave enough and signed for the long one again, the weather as so bad that officially they had to cancel the 26k … Continue reading Romania 2021: Rodnei Sky Race, 3 July

Romania 2021: Winter Wolf Race Oradea, 14 March

Maybe Winter Race isn't the right way to name this race, since we were running surrounded by spring flowers and bright green wild garlic . Even the trees started to sprout... I'm not complaining though, winter scenary is not my only favourite. I feel better with colorful nature 🙂 Nevertheles, this was another race that … Continue reading Romania 2021: Winter Wolf Race Oradea, 14 March

Romania 2021: Faget Winter Race Virtual, January 16th

First race of the year! Aaand the first virtual race I ever signed up for. Since the pandemic started, I kind of fell off the radar with the races. This kind of "competition" is not really to my liking, so I skipped all the virtual runs. I always thought it's going to be over soon … Continue reading Romania 2021: Faget Winter Race Virtual, January 16th

Romania 2019: La Salina Trail Run & MTB, 12.10

Officially, this was my last race in Romania this year. USA here I come, hoping for a few spontaneous runs while I'm there ❤ Ever since I’ve heard (like 4 years ago) about that race where you can drink wine while running 15k, I knew I belonged to that thing. I'm talking about Corcova Trail … Continue reading Romania 2019: La Salina Trail Run & MTB, 12.10

Romania 2018: Gorun Trail, Mercheasa 27.10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu5Wa4F3VXA&feature=youtu.be Ever since I saw this race I knew it has to be on my bucket list. So I signed up for the longest race (30km) without planning how will I even get there. I just knew I will find a way. And so I did. I'm always excited when there's a race I've never been … Continue reading Romania 2018: Gorun Trail, Mercheasa 27.10

Romania 2018: Retezat Marathon, Rausor skijump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0JYzffTMZY&t=20s Once again, I took part of what I've sworn I would never do. This race made me drop dead last year and I really meant when I wrote: ".. is not for everyone, definitely not for me. While I was climbing the rocks and praying for the finish line, I swore to myself that … Continue reading Romania 2018: Retezat Marathon, Rausor skijump

Romania 2018: Rodnei Skyrace, 21st July (Maramures county)

https://youtu.be/Y1DUlaYGMt4 Do you know the  "running your age on your birthday" cliche? Well, I unintentionally almost did it. I ran the age I had one day before my birthday. Or like normal people would explain it: I ran 26k on my last day at 26. Coincidence: Rodnei Skyrace took place this year on 21st of … Continue reading Romania 2018: Rodnei Skyrace, 21st July (Maramures county)
