We are pleased to announce a new race partner—this time for a very long-distance event, specifically the 66-km ultramarathon: Subaru (Twin Motors). In the following article, we will briefly outline the synergy between the two teams and commend our partner’s dedication to supporting mountain running in Romania at the highest level!
Subaru at a glance: technology in the service of adventure, safety in the heart of nature.
The Subaru team believes that great achievements begin where the pavement ends. That is why we are all proud of our partnership with .msg Maraton Apuseni, as an Ultramarathon partner—a race defined by endurance, technique, and a deep connection with the mountains.
For the 15th anniversary of the .msg Apuseni Marathon, the ultramarathon remains an experience that is as technical—66.1 km and 3,100 m of elevation gain—as it is runnable, set in a landscape that blends alpine plateaus, ancient forests, and a distinguished nature reserve.
The race is classified as UTMB Index 50K and offers 3 ITRA points, combining athletic performance with an authentic cultural and natural experience.
Why Subaru and the .msg Apuseni Marathon?
Just like an ultramarathon runner covering the 66 km through the ridges and valleys of the Apuseni Mountains, Subaru models are designed to perform in extreme conditions, offering safety and control where others give up.
- Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: Subaru’s trademark Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive provides the balance and traction needed on the most challenging forest roads, mirroring the stability an athlete needs on the technical trails of Scărița-Belioara.
- Uncompromising endurance: While ultramarathon runners test their physical limits, our vehicles (Outback, Forester, Crosstrek) demonstrate their legendary reliability, built to withstand the long haul in demanding environments.
- Respect for nature: A passion for exploration goes hand in hand with a duty to protect. Subaru supports an active and sustainable lifestyle, in full harmony with the spectacular landscape of the Apuseni Mountains.
Subaru Supports High-Level Performance
Through this partnership, Subaru Cluj (Twin Motors) joins the trail running community to celebrate the human spirit and the desire to push one’s limits. We stand alongside runners to ensure that your adventure to the finish line is supported by cutting-edge technology and a genuine passion for movement.
