Bucegi marathon 2013

Padina Fest invites you this year on August 4, 2013 to the third edition of the Bucegi Marathon , a cross-country MTB race, in a spectacular setting, at an altitude of up to 2000 meters. The route, approximately 40 km long, with a difference in level of 1000m, will start on the Lunca Padinii plateau and will pass by numerous tourist attractions: Bolboci Lake, Şaua Dichiului, Babele, Sfinxul, Valea Dorului, Piatra Arsă, Cerdacul and Peștera.

The two-wheeled race is integrated into a 5-day festival dedicated to the mountains. Padina Fest returns with force with its fourth edition between July 31 and August 4, 2013 on the Padina Plateau, Bucegi Mountains with mountain activities, workshops, concerts and sports competitions right in the middle of nature.

The Padina Fest event will also feature a mountain running competition. For trail running enthusiasts, the second edition of the Omu Direction is being prepared, a mountain running competition in which participants must reach Omu Peak, the highest point in the Bucegi Massif, and finish the race back in the festival area.
