Trail Ghosts Vâlcea History
Trail Ghosts Vâlcea was founded in the summer of 2018 by a group of runners from Râmnicu Valcea who are passionate about mountain running, as an amateur team aiming to promote outdoor activities. We are convinced that there is no physical exercise simpler, easier to practise and more beneficial for body and soul than running. When we love every step we take while running, running becomes more than a sport. Running becomes a way of life, a path to follow, a means of personal growth and of surpassing ourselves.
Since 2021, Trail Ghosts Valcea has had legal status through the founding of Asociația Sport fără Limite Vâlcea, bringing together more than 30 active members under the same name.
Because we love challenges and because we want to promote the beauty of our county as widely as possible, nationally and internationally, we launched the Buila Trail Race project - a mountain running competition held in Buila-Vânturarița National Park, which reaches its sixth edition in 2027. Besides the running competitions we take part in, our association dedicates an important part of its activity to volunteering at various events, fundraising, plogging and clean-up activities, and promoting the areas of Vâlcea County with tourist potential. In addition, the members of Trail Ghosts Valcea regularly organise group runs as well as free training sessions open to runners in the city, where they share their common passion for running.
Together with the help of club members, supporters, participants and partners, we work hard to fulfil our mission of giving people in our community a reason to run.
