What Transylvania Legends participants have to say
“I would recommend it first of all to runners who want to try something new. In fact, I have recommended it so far, I told everyone that it was the most beautiful contest I participated in. That’s how I liked it. Because I really liked it, I liked this transition from the village, to a town, to a forest, to an older village. So everyone who wants to see this road, to go to this contest because they really have something to see, that is, they will not get bored. It takes a bit of training to be able to lead, but it is also possible how the others did, that is, to run each one as best he can. […] I liked that you organized everything perfectly and we were like a family in which we all got along wonderfully. ”
“The Transylvania Legends experience was like this, better than I expected, in the sense that I prepared for a much more spartan life. That is, in a race that is in stages and especially in this one in which there are eight stages, unusually many, in general a single man is very difficult, that is, he must be extremely calculated, with his time, with what he does, for that the race does not end when you have finished the stage, but ends when you have finished everything, with washing, completely ready for the next day, to be all right and so on. […] The fact that I was helped a lot by the organizers allowed me to be fine for a long time. ”
“At the end of the day, after the stage, everyone was there as if we were a big family. You don’t see these things at other events, they don’t happen.
Go and participate because you will be left with a memory for the rest of your life, a super adventure because it is not just a one-day race, it is an adventure that will stay with you for the rest of your life. […] So many things happen that for those who are passionate about running Ultra they can’t miss this event. It’s also for those who want to try an ultra, to see what it’s about, even if you don’t do all the stages, even if you do one stage, two or three, but they are all absolutely fantastic.”
“It was something special and now I relive those moments and yes, unfortunately it’s over. I still remember the last day when I was on the last kilometers, we still have about 20 and I was thinking: unfortunately it’s over. […] I was really sorry that it was over, it was something magical, in addition to running, landscapes, friends were made, it was socializing that we lacked during this period. […] it had a big impact on me because it was socializing and the fact that it was an atypical contest, a contest in which we helped each other. […] A contest in which we supported each other, gave each other advice, helped each other to overcome the pain that was inevitable at this number of kilometers and the effort. What a magic and total madness! […] I can’t wait to see you again next year! ”
“I liked that by the end we were already united as a family, we knew a lot of details about each other and there were other runners I knew, but I knew even more.
At competitions you talk to who you know and who you run on the route, but now we were all in the same place … a big family… I liked that. […]
I want to congratulate you that you managed to organize this event – contest! ”
“I was impressed by the format itself, it’s something new. […] This whole thing was very beautiful, I repeat, like my colleagues, the fact that we were a family there, we helped each other as best we could, all the treatment we received, the carefully chosen or unchosen meals, but I had to eat, that word, like at a wedding. It was ok, it mattered a lot. And the atmosphere, too, in the package.
If you are curious next year go to Transylvania legends, introduce yourself there and live your own experience.
I recommend you have the courage to go because it’s not that hard. […] Trust yourself and go to Transylvania Legends, it’s an unforgettable experience! ”
Transylvania Legends
and Via Transilvanica
Our
motivation
Ever since the works for marking the Via Transilvanica road started, I had a single desire, to go through it completely. But covering such a long distance without a support team is impossible.
So, after hitting this barrier, we decided to organize a way to offer support to all those who want to ride such an Ultramarathon and so was born the first edition of the Transylvania Legends race.
Our
cause
We carry out this project with love for wonderful children, who need healthy landmarks from the St. Leontie Rădăuți Settlement.
The St. Leontie children’s settlement in Rădăuți is home to 114 children, who come from disadvantaged families, but who now enjoy the exemplary care of the wonderful people in the settlement. We can help them in many ways.
We can donate, we can contribute to their new home or we can be role models in their lives and offer them emotional support.
Our
legend
Many legends have crossed our country long and wide. Some have disappeared, some we still hear about, but the earth we tread and run knows them all, because he himself is the legend.
And, as a true story, not only what you read, but it is heard from the mouth of the one who knows it, we invite you to discover it yourself in the Transylvanian villages and in the simplicity of life lived here.
The legend lies in the port, in the words, in the culinary delicacies and especially in the humanity of the locals.
Run for the "Sf. Leontie" Rădăuți Children's Settlement
You will run for a social cause, for the children from the Rădăuți Settlement who need role models, mentors, examples, people who CAN SUCCEED!
