Where do we stay?

You will experience traditional food, with a little tweak, to make sure you have enough energy for each day while still giving you a chance to sample and enjoy local delicacies.

We welcome walkers, runners and hikeres. You don't need to be super fit, just a reasonable level of fitness. ​

For the 100km you need to be a minimum of 18. 

The 8km (Day 3) is open to all age groups. 

What's the after party?

To finish, you have the chance to sample part of this unforgettable way of life and enjoy our medal ceramony and after party, joined by the Mayor of Fundu Moldovei, with customary BBQ accompanied by mamaliga, homemade cheese and bread.

My Experience

The 'vertical stream' was my favourite part. It was hard, but I would happily do it again.

My First Ultra

The Guardian:

Running through vivid green meadows filled with colourful wildflowers, listening to the distant sound of tinkling cow bells and babbling brooks, it wasn’t long before any doubts – and everything else – were pushed far from my mind.
