#wild #brutal #breathtaking Dara Ultra Skyrace 16 is the race that helps you feel, see and taste why Fagaras are not only the highest mountains in Romania, but special in so many other ways. You will feel all the challenges and treats offered by Fagaras Mountains, testing your training with brutal uphill and downhill passages, giving the full taste of spectacular skyrunning, the mirage of climbing the northern ridges, with 360° views over the legendary alpine circuses where the anti-communist resistance fighters had their hiding spots. You will alternate runing through rocky passages, fir trees of beech forests, alpine meadows, running through the highest glacier lakes in Romania, with view over the Fagaras ridge, 5 other massifs (Iezer-Papusa, Piatra Craiului, Bucegi, Ciucas, Hasmas) and over the Transylvanian Plateau. 15 summits over 2200 m high, 30 km of (sky)running above 2000 meters altitude, start and finish in the finest base camp you will find over the Carpathians, with theatre, concerts, workshops, seminars, 6 artificial lakes and the most welcoming campsite at the foot of the moluntain.
