GETRUN Rosa 2027 - Pervi pyat Labirinti Dafni - 12.1K

The race is based at Krasnaya Polyana, a mountain resort village in the Sochi area of southern Russia. The resort sits in the Caucasus foothills and provides the trails, accommodation and services that the event uses on race weekend.

Most runners fly into Sochi or Adler and continue by train or road into the mountains. Krasnaya Polyana has its own rail station on the line from Adler, and the journey from the coast takes roughly an hour depending on the service you choose.

It is a serious mountain course rather than a flat introduction to trail running. The distance is modest at 12.1 km, but the 840 m of climbing and matching descent make it a proper test, so some hill and mountain experience helps.

The race starts at 10:00, so arriving at the resort start area with time to collect your number, use the facilities and warm up is the sensible approach. The organiser confirms exact number collection times in the pre-race information.

The start and finish area in the Krasnaya Polyana resort is the easiest place for supporters to see runners, and the mountain setting means much of the course is out on the trails. Supporters should plan their day around the resort base rather than trying to follow the route on foot.
