The Half runs Loop 1 and Loop 3 of the marathon: La Mândru and Fundata, then Bisericuța peak and Poiana Guțanu. Start and finish are in the centre of Moieciu de Sus.
The START of the Half is from the centre of Moieciu de Sus, in front of the House of Culture. The first loop follows the asphalt on the “Valea Popii” and continues 1km on the country-road.
The trail crosses the river on a wooden bridge on the right side of the valley and covers the steep slope ascending trough the forest „La Mandru” where is the first hydration point (only water). After another 700m of smooth ascent the course suddenly turns right following a marked trail (country road – red line) going down from “Muntele Sf. Ilie” to Fundatica Village in Valea Cheii.
From here the course continues right on the road and then leave immediately on the left side with a short but sustained climb, and after another 1.5km of alternate short ascends the course reaches CP1, a refreshment check point with energy beverages and food. From here the course continues 800m on the paved road and then turns right on a small alley between the houses and get back into another dirt road.
After a few hundred meters the last ascent of Loop 1 begins going to a boundary road. From here the trail descends gently at first and then more steeply to the Moieciu de Sus along a George’s path.
The last part of descent is quite steep and the path should be followed exactly without stepping outside it, to avoid damage to the meadow.
The last meters takes you to EcoKids Route and will follow a path to avoid the asphalt, will reach the telecommunication site and come down on the path from behind The Church to reach Moieciu de Sus in the central point (CP2), which marks the arrival of the competitor at the End of the 1st Loop of the Marathon race.
Here will be the first time barrier - 2.30 hours from start time.
From km 14.2 the course starts on the 'Valea Popii' 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 the first 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 – 1455 m, km 22. The course reaches a clearing, where is the Check Point CP5. 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.
