The annual ROSA RUN running festival will be held at Rosa Khutor.
Organizers believe this will allow runners to enjoy the stunning and picturesque landscapes of the Sochi mountains.
For the ninth consecutive year, thousands of participants and spectators from all over Russia will gather for the event. The program includes four themed races for adults, a special ROSA KIDS race for children, entertainment activities for spectators, lectures, evening film screenings, parties, and much more.
ROSA RUN is the first and only 4-day mountain running festival in Russia. The main theme of the festival in 2024 is "Running into the Future."
On October 10, one of the most challenging races will take place - ROSA PEAK: runners will have to overcome 7 km on a ski slope to the top of Mount Rosa Peak, with a maximum elevation gain of 1150 m.
October 11 is dedicated to the team race with a storyline, ROSA QUEST. Participants will undergo challenges and complete tasks at various stations of the running route, as a result of which they will need to collect parts of an object capable of time travel. The format is suitable for those who love participating in activities with a company of like-minded people, as well as for those who want to make new acquaintances and friends.
On October 12, the costumed ROSA CARNIVAL race will take place. An incredible number of futuristic and creative images will gather together to run a distance of 2.1 km, have fun, and take many bright and unusual photos. The best futuristic outfits will be awarded special prizes and gifts.
On October 13, trail runners will test their strength in trail races. This year, runners will find three trails of varying difficulty: ROSA GREEN TRAIL at 9.4 km, ROSA RED TRAIL at 16 km, and ROSA BLACK TRAIL at 28 km. Participants will run through scree and snowfields, trails and mosses.
Each festival participant will receive a trophy T-shirt and will be able to collect a collection of author's medals with a creative design for each race.
