The 11K Cros, with its 500m+ elevation gain, is perfect for intermediate athletes, while the 19K and 33K courses, with elevation gains of 1300m+ and 2700m+ respectively, are recommended for more advanced and experienced runners, and in addition will earn the participants ITRA points/ UTMB.

But no matter which course you choose, one thing is certain – Buila Trail Race promises to be a truly magnificent experience. Participants will be surrounded by stunning natural scenery, including rugged mountains, lush forests, and sparkling streams. And along the way, runners will be cheered on by the enthusiastic and supportive community of  Buila Trail Race Team & Asociația Sport fără Limite Vâlcea.

Congratulations to all the trail runners who challenged themselves and conquered last year’s Buila edition! Your perseverance and dedication are truly admirable. Our heartfelt congratulations go out to our favorite athlete, Adriana Cojocaru, whom you may remember from our previous Ultra articles. She has once again proven her exceptional skills by winning the 33K race.

For those who are considering joining this year’s marathon, remember the words of famous ultra runner Dean Karnazes: “Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.” The trail may be long and challenging, but the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel at the finish line will make it all worth it. So come join us and let’s push ourselves to new heights together!
