Tryavna Ultra
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.

Marathon Stara Zagora
Marathon Stara Zagora starts and finishes on Tsar Simeon Veliki Boulevard in front of the Stara Zagora Municipality in central Bulgaria. It is a city road-running event usually held in late March, with four options: marathon, half marathon, 10.55 km, and 5 km. The format is simple and easy to follow: the marathon is four laps of 10.55 km, the half marathon is two laps, and the 10.55 km race is one lap. The start sits at about 206 meters above sea level, and the main turning zone is lower, at about 175 meters. The main course runs out from the municipality along Tsar Simeon Veliki Boulevard, continues onto Nikola Petkov Boulevard, turns near the Metro store area, and returns by the same route. The 5 km route uses a shorter out-and-back section with a turn at the end of Krairechen Boulevard. Stara Zagora’s streets follow an old Roman street plan, so runners get a straight, flat urban course rather than a winding one. The race motto is “Running is a way of life,” shared with the Bulgarian marathon series that also includes Varna and Sofia. Participants receive a race T-shirt, finishers get a medal, and the city adds a bit of post-race interest with Roman ruins, mosaics, tombs, the Neolithic Museum, local restaurants, and the Pavel Banya spa about an hour away.
About cycling & running in Stara Zagora
Stara Zagora Training Notes
Running: Running in Stara Zagora feels honest, because the streets follow an ancient Roman plan and stay perfectly straight. Locals use park Бедечка and the Bedechka river side for easy Z2, then sharpen up on Tsar Simeon Veliki Boulevard. The route covers 195 km. The route sits 5488 km from Tsar Simeon Veliki Boulevard. Athletic club Beroe and Sport club Raketa give the scene its serious-club spine.
Cycling: Riding around Stara Zagora stays more local and tougher than it looks from the city grid. Велосъстезание Байканджии 2026 and Велорали Средна гора work as anchor races for the bike crowd. The climbs sit toward the Balkan Mountains, where the riding gets rough and the terrain changes a lot. The city centre gives you straight roll-outs before the course profile gets mean.
Season: March is the clean target month here, because Marathon Stara Zagora lands at the end of March and gives runners a proper early-season check. Locals use that block for base miles, intervals, and race pace without overthinking it. Summer training stays practical, with early city loops, park Бедечка runs, and rides that can push south because the Trakia motorway runs a few kilometres below town. Winter changes the feel for both sports, so locals keep the straight roads, the river side, and the club rhythm, then save the rougher Balkan Mountains work for better windows.
