Green Heart Half Ultra Chepelare 2026

Olympic Square serves as the starting point for a demanding mountain day, where trail runners and MTB riders will navigate the same Green Heart course. This event marks the first stop of the Bulgarian Half Ultra Challenge Series 01, and is also part of the Green Heart and Kom Epic challenge, giving it a more competitive field than a relaxed outing. The course options are Trail & MTB LONG, MEDIUM, and SHORT. All start at 1,062 m and ascend into high mountain terrain. The long and short routes reach their highest point near 1,872 m. The long course includes almost 1,900 m of elevation gain, making early pacing crucial. Starts are staggered, with Long + Medium beginning together, followed by Short. All participants finish back at Olympic Square after a day that will test endurance, bike handling, and composure.
