Oana Marina - The silence within

This interview introduces Oana Marina, a visual artist, drawing teacher, and amateur ultra-runner whose trail journey began during the pandemic and quickly became a defining part of her identity. Through consistent top results at major Romanian and international ultras, she describes running as a path toward essence, self-knowledge, and lived experience rather than destination. Bucovina Ultra Rocks by UTMB holds a special place for her, a space of courage, belonging, and deep connection between people and nature, where limits are questioned, emotions are fully felt, and returning “home” means reconnecting with roots while continuing to move forward.

Juan Delafenetre - The world as a journey

This interview presents Juan Delafenetre, an Argentinian trail runner and coach for whom ultra running is less about results and more about exploration, limits, and lived experience. Drawn to the simplicity and intensity of running, he describes ultra trail as a double journey, through wild landscapes and through the inner self. His participation in the Beast 100M at Bucovina Ultra Rocks by UTMB became a powerful encounter with solitude, nature, and personal responsibility, leaving him with a deep sense of respect for the place and a strong desire to return. For Juan, running among roots and toward the horizon means self-reliance, problem-solving, and embracing the raw magic of moving forward into the unknown.
