THE FORMAT
Approximately 250 kilometers to cover in 6 stages.
This distance can vary depending on the terrain and elevation gain. The structure of the stages and the distribution of distances may slightly change from year to year, depending on the defined routes. The exact route and distances are detailed in the road book, which you will receive in Buzau upon arrival at the bivouac, one day before the start of the race.
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!
THE SPECIAL FEATURES
A WILD CARPATHIAN ADVENTURE
Ultra Race Romania is a self-sufficient stage race that takes runners deep into the wild beauty of the Buzău Mountains.

Along the way, runners experience some of the region’s most remarkable landmarks, including Eagles Lake, Penteleu Peak, the Living Fire, the Trovants and the Muddy Volcanoes.
More than a race, URR is a shared journey — a family-like experience built around endurance, discovery and unforgettable memories.

Daniel Nica
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

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
