Emilia Tsoneva for the fourth K3 ULTRA Marathon
With almost 800 people, the fourth edition of many people’s favourite K3 ULTRA Marathon started in Zlatograd,
and this year the organisers surprised the marathoners with two brand new routes.
According to Emilia Tsoneva, who is also the driving force of the K3 ULTRA idea, the two new routes are extraordinary not only because of the beautiful views that spread before the eyes of the runners and the adrenaline they charge them with, but also for many other reasons.
Ms. Emilia Tsoneva announced especially for the listeners of Radio Plovdiv this year’s winners and what other innovations the K3 ULTRA team boasts. She was a guest in the Antena Sport programme hosted by Diyan Nikiforov.

An international ultramarathon was held in Zlatograd
Over 250 participants took part in the first ultramarathon, which took place in the southernmost town of Bulgaria – Zlatograd. They raced on trails with a length of 23, 53 and 85 kilometres.
One of the most famous Bulgarian ultralong-distance runners participated in the unique sports event. The first start was given at 5 am in Zlatograd. The organisers had prepared and secured three routes of varying degrees of difficulty.
Emilia Tsoneva – organiser: Additionally, they soak into amazing , unconquered and undiscovered nature, because these are the unknown Rhodopes.
The champion was Ivan Gochev from Sliven, who covered the longest distance – 85 kilometres in 10 hours and 28 minutes. Pirin Galov and Bozhidar Antonov won silver and bronze.
Ivan Gochev: Long, very beautiful, the route was very interesting. And the rivalry was very good. And I am super happy with the organisation of the race.
In 6 hours and 31 minutes, Dimitar Karamihov was the first to run the 53-kilometre route.
Dimitar Karamihov: It was a demanding task. The route was very well prepared by the organisers and this greatly facilitated our running experience. Everything was up to par.
For women, Boryana Nikolcheva was first at 85 kilometres, and Desislava Tsvetanova at 53. In the shortest distance – 23 kilometres, there were the most participants – 140. The winner for men is Yasen Aleksiev, and for women – Neli Anastasova.
Neli Anastasova: Great experience, great route, at times very steep, a lot of climbing, but it was great.
Elmira Ugorlieva – Deputy Mayor of Zlatograd: From KaUltra, Zlatograd gains perhaps the most valuable, the most important, the most essential thing – popularity.
The organisers plan to make the ultramarathon a tradition, and the competitors were adamant that they would return to Zlatograd again.
