The venue is located in Cheile Gradistei, more specifically in the Fundata Resort. This is a touristic venue that is situated 5km form the Resort Moeciu. From the resort you can enjoy a panorama view of the Piatra Craiului and Bucegi mountains. There is also a sort of freshness and privacy that adds a special sort of beauty and privacy. The event will take place at the world-class biathlon center, that is located in the forest with a good deal of MTB trials and running trials.

The weekend will include an event for all categories, from elite to Para triathlon, Juniors and Age Group athletes, while offering a strong local experience. Distances range from 4,5 km run, 8 km bike, and 6 km cross-country skiing to 4 times 1,5 km run and 2,7 km bike as well as 2 km cross-country skiing and lastly 2 km skiing, 2,7 km bike and 1,5 km’s of running.

This year, before we had event cancellations and the realization of the seriousness of COVID-19, we had the privilege of being here and experienced some great racing. The weather was not friendly as there was a large amount of snowfall on the Friday evening, Saturday morning a freshly covered track was presented. The sun was trying hard to break through the snow, but this allowed athletes to enjoy a challenging mix of snow, ice, gravel and asphalt.

See you there!
