Hello, runner!
We know that you are preparing intensively for the Brasov Running Festival and you are looking forward to running on one of the fastest routes in the world, alongside the world's most important athletes.
So that everything goes perfectly, here is some information that will help you quickly navigate and enjoy a real show!
Location of the competition
- If you are attending the Brasov Running Festival for the first time, it is important to know that the event takes place in the Coresi neighborhood (formerly Tractorul), more specifically on Camil Petrescu Street (here are all the starts and arrivals). You will find route maps displayed in several places to pinpoint the exact starting and arrival points. These are properly marked and our volunteers will be able to guide you whenever you need them.
- To get to the site from the train station, you have a maximum of 15 minutes walking in a straight line, crossing the Tractor Park.
- If you come by car, you have many parking spaces available on Zaharia Stancu Street (Coresi Shopping Resort parking mall), just a 10-minute walk away, and in the Tractorul Park area, on Turului Street.
- It is essential to arrive early! We want to see you full of energy, supported from the sidelines by friends and family, in the fanciest clothes or in the latest running gear! We strongly suggest that you pay attention to the runners around you when you run and try not to interfere with anyone's evolution along the way.
