The race
Retezat Mountain Run is a high-mountain trail marathon staged inside Retezat National Park, with start and finish at the Râușor ski-slope base in Hunedoara county — gateway to a massif of glacial lakes, granite ridges and protected wilderness.
Choose your effort across four courses: 8.6, 12.8, 24.9 and 39.7 km. From a first taste of alpine running to a full mountain marathon, every line climbs out of Râușor and into the heights of Retezat.
Routes
Every course starts and finishes at the Râușor ski-slope base, so supporters watch the whole field leave and return from one mountain arena.
