Loop 3 of the marathon, a 2026 special: Bisericuța peak, Bângăleasa valley and Poiana Guțanu, under the Bucegi.
The course for 2026 Cross starts on the 'Valea Popii', same as previous edition, and after 950m ascends on the left side of the valley to 'Bisericuta' peak, a 320m ascent. The ascent is, at first, steep and after 500m the slope becomes easier. The course then follows a undulating trail along “Bisericutei Hill” until a path junction marked by a wooden cross, the beginning of a steep descent to 'Bangaleasa' Vally. Following Bangaleasa Valley on a forest road for 700m, the course reaches the last great ascent of the EcoRun Moieciu to “Gutanu” glade. After the refreshment point the course crosses the 'Bangaleasa' River, ascends trough the forest almost 360m positive gain until it reaches the highest point – 1460m, 8-th km. The course reaches a clearing, where is the Check Point CP. From here the course covers the last 6km along 'Plesii' Ridge.
The course follows the tourist trail marked with red stripe, which descends from 'Bucegi' Mountains and leads to 'Simon' village, until it reaches the junction and goes left to Moieciu de Sus. The course covers the ridge until over the center of Moieciu de Sus village, where the area opens and then descends steeply to Moieciu de Sus. The route crosses again Bangaleasa River and the last 300m of the race are on the asphalt road until it reaches the FINISH line.
From 2010 to 2025 the Cross ran on Loop 1 (La Mândru · Fundata); since 2026 it runs on Loop 3.
