Race description
K13 is a cross-country race for those who want to enjoy a short and fast race or for those who want to start mountain running. For those who have never run in the mountains, our estimate is that the effort to complete the race is the equivalent of a flat half marathon. The mountain path and even the asphalt portion generally pass through the forest. The major objectives are the path to Susai, Clabucet Plecare and Cabana Garbova.
