We invite you to a new session of Trail Running Talks featuring elite runners and passionate runners, who will share their perspectives on what it means to train for performance and to make your dreams come true!
Organized by the .msg Maraton Apuseni team, the event will once again take place in a live, interactive format, where we’ll have an open discussion about performance, passion, and perseverance!
The event will take place one month before the races, on May 7, 2026, at 6:30 PM, at the headquarters of the title sponsor .msg Romania.

Special Guests
This year’s second meeting features four guests with exceptional experience in trail running, each addressing a different aspect of performance:
- Mara Voicu – Will speak about the balance between personal life and sports in her presentation “Two Roles, the Same Performance: Mother and Mountain Runner.”
- Leonard Mitrică – Will address “Essential Factors of Performance in Mountain Running,” offering a technical and practical perspective on progress in this sport.
- Oana Marina – Will speak about motivation and consistency in her presentation “Passion. Determination. Perseverance – About Doing Better.”
- Ionuț Alin Zinca – Will bring a dose of energy and inspiration through the message “Train hard, dream high!”
The event will be moderated by Răzvan Samoilă, the ultramarathon event coordinator.
