Tryavna Ultra 2027

Tryavna Ultra is a July mountain race series based in and around Tryavna, a historic town in Bulgaria’s Balkan Mountains. The main running options range from short trail distances to long ultramarathon efforts, with past and listed courses including 141 km, 100 km, 76 km, 42 km, 23 km, and 21 km routes. The longest listed ultra reaches 141 km with 5,840 m of climbing, while the 76 km route adds 2,820 m and the 23 km route adds 706 m. The event also includes mountain-bike races of 70 km and 25 km, duathlon formats pairing MTB and running, and a free 3 km run for beginners, children, and tourists that uses the same start and finish area as the longer distances. The long route goes through the architectural park of Bozhentsi, woodlands in the Bulgarian Woman eco-park, three municipalities, and many villages. Runners also pass through forests, fields, and the old town of Tryavna, with the finish set in the town center. Tryavna Ultra counts as a qualifier for Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, with the 141 km race carrying 6 UTMB points and the 76 km race carrying 4. Every finisher receives a medal, and the field ranges from serious ultra runners chasing qualification points to local trail runners, cyclists, duathlon racers, first-timers, children, and tourists trying the short course.
