The battle of two Silent Giants
You’re stepping into a land of legend. The protected natural reserve Pietrele Doamnei hides a story passed down through generations.
In 1541, during Petru Rareș’s reign, his wife, Lady Elena, fled to the Rarău Mountains with their son Ștefăniță, escaping Tatar invaders. As they prayed for salvation, thunder echoed – the rocks collapsed, burying their enemies beneath. “This is the price for our salvation,” she is said to have whispered. The rocks were named Pietrele Doamnei ever since.
You’ll face a steep climb to the majestic Giumalău, then pass through Transrarău, between haystacks and pastoral silence, toward your final ascent: RUNC.
That’s where you’ll find it – the treasure within the mountain: YOURSELF!
Course route & Elevation Profile
Campulung Moldovenesc - Platoul Central
Along the race route, there are points where runners are provided food and drinks. Aid stations supply drinks and food for consuming within the aid stations. The organization supplies still water and electrolyte/sports drink for filling the mandatory water bottles/hydration packs and personal collapsible cups. The runner must make sure, when leaving the aid station, that they have the necessary quantity of food and drinks to keep them going until the next aid station.
To enter the aid stations, runners must wear their race-bib.
The race guide and the relevant pages on our website provide full list of aid stations and what kind of food/drinks runners may find there.
There are several medical stations along the route. These stations are directly linked to the command center. There is medical staff at the command center or on the course during the events. Medical stations are intended to assist any runner in need of medical assistance. It is up to a runner in need of assistance or injured to call for help:
By going to a medical station By calling the command center (phone number should be saved in mobile/cellphone) By asking another runner to call for help By using the SOS function on the LiveRun app (if applicable) Runners must provide assistance to any person in danger and alert the command center. If a runner is unable to call the command center, and only if it is an absolute emergency, runners may call directly one of the national security services (especially if you are crossing an area where only emergency calls are possible): local emergency number will be specified on the race guide. A number of unexpected events, including inclement weather events, could make you wait for help longer than expected. Your safety therefore depends upon the quality of the items that you have put in your pack. All medical, paramedical, first aid and guide staff, as well as any person appointed by the race direction are able to:
Remove any participant who is deemed unable to continue the event Demand any competitor to use any item of the mandatory equipment Evacuate any runners deemed to be in danger Refer runners to the most appropriate care facility A runner who is treated by a doctor or reached by the search and rescue staff will defer to the professional’s authority and agrees to accept their decisions. If a runner's state of health justifies treatment via intravenous drip, the runner shall compulsorily withdraw from the race. There is a medical center at the finish area available for runners with severe medical problems. Comfort care is based on the decision of the medical staff within the limits of care available. Runners must stay on the marked path, even when they sleep. All runners who voluntarily venture from the way-marked course are no longer under the responsibility of the organization.
