Join Bucharest International Half-Marathon by Constantina Dita presented by Decathlon
You thought Romania was just Dracula and the Carpathians? 🧛♂️ Time to rewrite that script!
Bucharest is calling 🦶—and it’s not whispering. It’s boldly inviting you to race through its most iconic streets during the Bucharest International Half Marathon by Constantina Dita presented by Decathlon, a World Athletics Label event that blends speed, culture, and community in one unforgettable experience. Born from the vision of Olympic marathon champion Constantina Diță 🥇(yes, a real legend), this race is more than a run—it's a celebration of movement, diversity, and Romanian pride. Designed by Constantina herself, this is a very fast and flat course, and offers the opportunity for a competitive personal best for both professional athletes and amateur runners, and it’s considered the most beautiful race in Romania ⭐. The event is also supporting Habitat for Humanity, Romanian Paralympic Committee, and We plant good deeds.
🌸 April is your moment. With spring temperatures hovering around 15–20 °C 🌡️, it’s prime racing weather. Pack your gear, check the forecast 👀, and get ready to toe the line.
🏃🏻♂️ Before you lace up, here’s the rundown:
Half Marathon: Flat, fast, and perfect for PB chasers or first-timers. 10K: A scenic loop past Bucharest’s architectural gems 🏙️ like the Triumphal Arch and Romanian Athenaeum. 3.5K Popular Race: Open to runners from age 8 (kids under 10 need a buddy). Great for families and fun-seekers. Because sport belongs to everyone ✊.
Every route winds through the vibrant city center and Herăstrău Park 🌲. The more you run, the more you see. And trust us—you’ll want to see it all.
🏁 After the finish line, reward yourself with a deep dive into Bucharest’s charm. Nicknamed the “Little Paris of the East,” it offers wide boulevards, lush parks, and cultural treasures. Visit the monumental Palace of Parliament 🏛️, wander the cobbled streets of Lipscani, and stroll through Herăstrău Park 🌳 for a post-race cooldown. Culture lovers, don’t miss the Village Museum—an open-air tribute to Romania’s rural soul 🤩.
Got a few extra days? Head to Bran Castle near Brașov—the one that sparked the Dracula legend—and soak in Transylvania’s mystique. And of course, fuel up with local delights: sarmale, mici, and papanaşi. Your taste buds will be doing a victory lap 😋.
