Ultra Race Romania – Where Legends Meet – Ultra Race Romania is an unique stage footrace where runners must cover 250km in 6 stages in self sufficiency, exploring raw wilderness, culture, history.

FINISH THE RACE AND START THE PARTY!

HAVE YOU CROSSED THE FINISH LINE? WAIT…THERE’S MORE!

Finishing the race doesn’t mean that everybody goes home. We invite you to stay with us two more days after all the pain and suffering ended to sightseeing the country, diving deep into the local culture, traditions, music and food.

Where will we take you in 2027? We’re still working on that. We might head back towards the mountains, castles and historic towns… or, after 250 km on the trails, we might decide that two days by the Black Sea, with our feet in the sand and a cold drink in hand, is exactly what everyone needs.

Mountains or seaside, one thing is certain: the adventure doesn’t end at the finish line. Two more days together, discovering Romania, relaxing, sharing stories and enjoying that special URR family vibe are part of the experience.

And you don’t need to spend a penny more, because it’s all included in the race package!

Ultrarunner & Co-founder

For me, ultra running looks like a life story and sometimes like running a business. You have to fall in order to rise stronger. But these are my true passions that led me embark in the Ultra Race Romania adventure. As an ultra runner and now as organizer, I can’t wait to see everyone’s smile at the finish line.

Edi Hirjoi

Co-founder & Volunteers Director

Adventurer through the wildness of the mountains, I live the moment either I run or bike. I age as freely through the mountains as I grew up. It’s always been the mountains that kept my spirit free and if I have to go back in time, I would take the same path again

How was the adventure in 2025
