RILA RUN 2026

The Rila Run in Rila is a mountain trail competition with a direct, raw character and significant positive elevation, challenging runners from the very first meters. This event makes it clear you're in a true mountain environment, where pace is earned through effort, lung power, and patience. The course quickly sorts the group with steep climbs and rocky and forest sections, leading to a finish line that is not reached by chance. Recognized as one of the most difficult competitions of its type in Bulgaria, it attracts some of our most elite mountain athletes, yet also welcomes those who simply love to battle the hill, offering pure trail without unnecessary embellishment.
