Dear friends,
We are excited to share with you that on 17 December the registration for the fourth edition of K3 ULTRA 2022 will be activated. This year we have prepared many surprises! It is worth becoming part of the magic of K3 ULTRA!
If you still have not chosen the Christmas present for yourselves or your close ones - make a gift of emotions, challenge and thrill - K3 ULTRA!
There is a legend about Rhodope - a maiden, renowned for her beauty. Even gods were captivated by her and everyone wanted her for his wife. God Hemus jealously tried to keep the girl for himself, but was unsuccessful, so he turned her into a mountain.
The Rhodope mountains captivated us too, with its incomparable beauty, tender hug and typically feminine temperament. It is thrilling and exciting not only for us but also for the hundreds of you who reached to it through the emotion called K3 ULTRA.
2022 year the Rhodope mountains will reveal even more if itself. We have prepared 4 tracks, - 85к, 63к, 43к and 23к, where the runners will enjoy the vast lush meadows and age-old forests. They will be charged with the feeling of freedom, harmony and timelessness. Experiencing the emotion K3 ULTRA is worth it!
We are expecting you!
Dear friends,
With great excitement we would like to share with you that the 2022 K3 ULTRA will be different and more thrilling! We have prepared for you one more, totally new track with a distance of 43 km. It is unusual not only because of the stunning beauty it reveals, but for a number of other reasons! Its finishing line will be in Zlatograd. The start of the 43-kilometre distance will be given in the town of Madan. The track passes through the historical fortress Kechi Chaya, which served as an observation point during the Byzantine times. You can imagine the magnificent views it provides! We were captivated by the sight and cannot but share the excitement with you! We believe that too good leads to even more good, and you?
Dear friends, We are extremely excited to share with You our totally new 23-kilometre track. It is filled with more stunning views and comprises a more pleasant route, which also passes by the borderline with Greece! The track is ideal for every mountain lover who is not necessarily a skilled runner. If you feel like getting away from monotony, clearing your mind and arranging your thoughts while at the same time recharging your batteries - 23K is the right choice for you!
It is an ancient sanctuary, situated 700 m above sea level. Do you know that our 53-kilometre track passes through it? It comprises a pleasant route picturesque 360° views and part of it goes by our borderline with Greece. We created it for all lovers of running and beautiful nature. This route is exciting, impressive and memorable. Challenge yourself and become part of K3 ULTRA!
They say that the greatest victory is to overcome oneself. We fully support this statement! If you also agree and have not decided yet on the way to achieve it, sign up for participation in the golden adventure in the Rhodopi mountains - K3 ULTRA. We bring to your attention our 85-kilometre distance, comprised of much more than 360-degree amazing sights! It passes through ancient historical areas, along the Bulgarian-Greek border and is saturated with adrenaline. If you have already run our track, you will know what we mean! The trace remains unchanged - a chance for everyone who wishes to improve their time. If you still have not done it - now is the time!
Apart from being a place for relaxation, walks and running, the mountain is one of the preferred terrains for cycling.
