Organiser's Description

A four-day Trail Running Holiday, Running Retreat.
Grade B - see www.nomadicrunningcompany.com for more details on grading.
Transylvania lies deep in the heart of myth and legend as the home of Count Dracula, but there is so much more that this region of Romania has to offer. Bran lies 150km North-West of Romania's capital, Bucharest, and is surrounded by spectacular mountain and forest trails.
Winding paths leading through lush expansive valley views, while tracks and signs remind you that you share this wilderness with wolves, bears and an abundance of other wildlife. Make the Bucegi mountain range your playground for a few days - this is a truly awesome place to run.
Book Now with a £150 deposit. Cost is £600 per person, based on 2 people sharing a twin room.
