The Transylvanian Bear Races are an 80km trail ultra-marathon and 42km trail marathon taking place in Transylvania, Romania.
The races are fully supported and will take you through one of the most spectacular places in Romania. Runners follow a pre-marked course through ancient Saxon villages, virgin forest, fortified churches, a ruined castle, open pasture land, meadows and rural village pathways. This culminates in the infamous ascent of the Sighisoara citadel, a UNESCO world heritage site and the birth place of Vlad Dracul. This is a racing first as no other race has even featured the city!
WARNING: the difficult of this route should not be underestimated. Nor should the vibrancy of the local wildlife, which includes wolves and bears.
