The fourth edition of the Sun Challenge, the only running competition in the downtown Vacaresti Natural Park, under the administration of the General City Hall of the Municipality of Bucharest, will take place on October 2, informs a press release sent to AGERPRES.
By organizing the event, the organizers want to draw attention to the importance of sports in nature and protecting the environment, the money obtained from the registrations being to be directed towards the creation of a permanent running route, ten kilometers long, with sustainable materials.
Those who wish will be able to choose between three running routes, of 5, 10 or 20 kilometers.

It will be an off-road course with markers for the number of kilometers and running directions, where runners will also be able to enjoy a close viewing platform of the park's ecosystem. We will make it with sustainable, environmentally friendly and animal-friendly materials that live in the park: otters, sea turtles and approximately 170 species of birds," Irina Studineanu, representative of Sun Plaza, the organizer of the event, said, told Agerpres.
