What to expect from the GBR 23K adventure?
Тhe route of the K3 Ultra GBR 23K is suitable for those who are just beginning to discover the charm of mountain running or for those good runners who, after the hard summer season, have decided to let loose in the recesses of the beautiful Middle Rhodopes.
The runners on this distance will start from the centre of Zlatograd to the east and along a narrow path will climb up to the St. Athanasius Chapel, from where a panoramic view of the nestled in the valley of the Varbitsa River town is revealed. Then there is a climb to Chukata and descent to Hasidere, from where the running on the Gold Border itself begins unnoticeably!
Along the border furrow itself, they will pass by the monument of Momchil – the Rhodope king, and past the border-crossing point they arrive at the St. St. Constantine and Helena Chapel, where an aid station will be organised with an abundance of Zlatograd specialities.
From the chapel, the runners will run by the border again along picturesque paths and meadows above the beautiful Zlatograd dam. They will cross the river at the dam and go on a slight climb to the third chapel on this route – St. Ekaterina. From there, only two more kilometres remain until the finish, the same for all distances.
Great things happen when people and mountains meet!
