Brasov Heroes #14
Run a few kilometres. Fund a year of good.
14 June 2026 · Brașov (Zona de agrement Lacul Noua), Brasov
Brasov Heroes isn't about your finish time — it's about who you run for. Every entry becomes a donation that powers 12–15 local causes, and everyone who crosses the start line becomes a hero of Brașov. Choose your cause, lace up, and turn one morning by the lake into real impact.
What this is
You don't run for time. You run to fund good.
Step 1 — Choose your cause
Who will you run for?
When you register you pick a local organisation to champion. Around 50% of your fee goes directly to your chosen cause. These are example causes from past editions — the live list is confirmed on the registration page.
- Children & families
Autism therapy
Specialised therapy and early-intervention programmes for children on the autism spectrum and their families.
- Sport for all
Inclusive sport
Adapted sport and movement programmes that open competition and play to people with disabilities.
- Animals
Animal welfare
Rescue, shelter, and rehoming work for the animals of Brașov and the surrounding county.
- Education
Anti-bullying
School programmes that build safer classrooms and give kids the tools to stand up to bullying.
- Accessibility
Blind-community services
Mobility support, accessible resources, and community services for blind and low-vision residents.
- Pick yours
…and more, every year
From mental health to nature and heritage — the full slate of 12–15 causes is confirmed on the registration page each edition.
12–15 causes are supported each year. Pick the one that's yours.
Step 2 — Pick your distance
Four ways to take the start
Light-to-moderate obstacles on every course. Run it solo, as a team, or bring the whole family.
Cursa scurtă 6 km (individual și echipe)
6 km+195 m
The classic Heroes distance. Timed, solo or as a team of 3–5, light-to-moderate obstacles — a great first challenge.
Cursa lungă 8 km (individual și echipe)
8 km+354 m
The big one, run solo or as a team of 3–5. More climbing, more obstacles, more reasons to push to the finish.
Family 4 km
4 km+187 m
Untimed and unhurried — bring the kids, take the obstacles at your own pace, finish together.

Why join
More than a race morning
A lakeside course, a friendly crowd, and the rare feeling that your kilometres actually changed something.
Your fee funds real causes
Around half of every entry goes straight to the local organisation you choose — your race is the donation.
Every level is welcome
Light-to-moderate obstacles and a family course mean you don't need to be an athlete to be a hero.
A lake, not a mud pit
Lacul Noua is a green recreation area — bring the family, stay for the afternoon, make a day of it.
You become a hero of Brașov
Cross the line and you're part of #eroudebrasov — a city's worth of people doing good together.

FAQ
Good questions, honest answers
How do I register?
Sign up at brasovheroes.ro/inscrie-alergator.php. During registration you pick your distance and the local cause you want to run for. Your participation fee is your donation — around 50% goes directly to your chosen cause.
What distances are there?
Short (6 km) and Long (8 km), both timed and run solo or as a team of 3–5, plus Family (4 km, untimed). There's also Heroes Week (June 8–14) — a virtual option for people running outside Brașov.
Do I have to be fit or fast?
No. The obstacles are light-to-moderate and the Family course is untimed. Brasov Heroes is a charity run, not a hardcore obstacle race — finishing and funding your cause is the whole point.
Where is it and where do I park?
At Lacul Noua, the lake recreation area in Brașov. It's a green, family-friendly spot south of the city. Parking and access details are confirmed on the registration page closer to race day.
Can kids and families take part?
Yes — the 4 km Family course is untimed and made for exactly that. Bring the kids, take the obstacles at your own pace, and finish together.
What if I can't make race day?
If you'll be outside Brașov, run Heroes Week instead (June 8–14, 120 lei) — or simply donate. Donations stay open through June 30, so you can support a cause even after the event.
Where does my money actually go?
Around half of your fee goes directly to the local cause you choose at sign-up. The rest supports Fundația Comunitară Brașov's work running the city's giving infrastructure.
Be a hero of Brașov.
Pick a cause, pick a distance, and turn one June morning into a year of good. Registration is open now; donations stay open through June 30.
