You run. They keep fighting.
11–12 July 2026 · Brașov, Brașov
A charity cross at the foot of Tâmpa, in the heart of Brașov. Every kilometre you run funds free palliative care for children with life-limiting illness and adults facing cancer. Run for them — “EI”, the ones HOSPICE cares for.
~30 years
of free palliative care in Romania
Who you run for
Behind every bib number is a name. A child learning to live with an illness that won't be cured. An adult facing cancer who still wants to laugh with their family today. They are the “EI” — “them” — and they are why this cross exists.
For nearly 30 years, HOSPICE Casa Speranței has been Romania's pioneer of palliative care — comfort, dignity and presence for people with incurable illness. Pain managed. Fear met with a steady hand. Families held when holding on is hardest.
None of those patients pay a single leu. Care is free — and it stays free only because people show up. People who walk, who run, who donate, who refuse to let a stranger fight alone.
When you pin on a number here, you are not chasing a personal best. You are buying a child one more good day, an adult one more gentle night. You run; they keep fighting.
“We don't add days to life. We add life to days.” — the HOSPICE way.
Every kilometre counts
Here the entry fee is a donation and the finish line is funding. The maths is simple and it is real: the distance you cover turns directly into hours and days of free palliative care for HOSPICE patients.
Set up a personal fundraising page on Team Hospice, share it, and let friends and colleagues turn your run into care. Companies can sponsor a whole distance.
Choose your distance
From a serious 18 km up the mountain to a 900 m dash for the little ones — and a brand-new timed obstacle course. Every distance can carry a sponsor's name; corporate teams are the heart of this cross.
The long one. Up and around the shoulder of Tâmpa.
A proper Tâmpa trail without the full climb.
Short, honest, and for a cause. Walk or run it.
The easy yes. Bring the whole office.
The youngest heroes get their own finish line.
Three teammates, one cause, one baton.
Brand-new timed obstacle course — grit, mud and heart.

Why this one
Seventeen editions in, the HOSPICE cross is woven into Brașov's summer. It's a race, a reunion, and a reason — all under Tâmpa.
Your fee funds real, free palliative care — no overhead games, no mystery. Care for children and adults who need it now.
From 900 m for kids to 18 km up the mountain. Walk it, run it, relay it — there is a start line that fits you.
Sponsor-named distances and a 3×2 km relay make this the easiest team-building day your company will run all year.
The Aleea de Sub Tâmpa, the old town behind you, the mountain above. A backdrop that makes the kilometres fly.

Good to know
Every leu raised supports HOSPICE Casa Speranței's free palliative care for children with life-limiting illness and adults with cancer. Patients never pay — your entry fee and donations are what keep that care free.
Registration is on Team Hospice, HOSPICE's official fundraising platform (team.hospice.ro). You pick your distance, your entry fee is your donation, and you can set up a personal fundraising page to invite friends to chip in.
Seven: an 18 km mountain run (+815 m), a 10 km trail (+570 m), 4 km, 2 km, a 900 m kids' race, a 3×2 km relay, and a brand-new timed obstacle course. There's a start line for every level.
Yes — run the virtual edition. Cover your distance anywhere, ask sponsors to pledge €1 per kilometre, and share your run with #alergpentruei. The kilometres still become care.
Absolutely. The 900 m kids' race has its own finish line, and the 2 km is an easy yes for families. This is a day for everyone.
Yes, and you're exactly who this cross is built for. Companies can sponsor a named distance, enter relay teams, and rally colleagues around personal fundraising pages on Team Hospice.
Everything starts and finishes on the Aleea de Sub Tâmpa, at the base of Tâmpa in Brașov — walking distance from the old town. Use the public parking around the centre and come early; the start village fills up.
Pick a distance, set up your fundraising page, and turn your kilometres into free care for the patients HOSPICE will never let fight alone.
