We call this “NaTura Altfel” (altfel means different in Romanian) as we try to explore a different area each time we go out. The point is to try to get to know better our county, apart from enjoying the fresh air.
A few details:
- the distances are usually between 10-20 km, on dirt roads or forest paths;
- we usually have three distance options (short, middle and long) so anyone can take part;
- the speed is always adapted to the slowest runner: nobody gets left behind; quicker runners could always return at intersections, so we’ll all go the same way as a group;
- Participation is on own’s responsability.
