   Detailed description:
 
     The 20k race starts from the barrier at the end of Bangaleasa Valley, from Moieciu de Sus and follows the route marked with red cross, on a forest road, 2 km long and then a steep climb through the forest (2.5 km with an altitude gain of approximately 650 m) until it meets the route with the red tape, in the alpine gap, at Grohotis, the highest point of the race - 1760 m. From here, turn left and follow the same route as the 50k race, descending almost continuously through the alpine gap and portions of the forest, on the red band, approximately 3 km, to the hunting lodge in Poiana Gutanu, from where it turns right, on the route marked with blue triangle, where the competitors will refresh their strength, to Poiana Gaura (km 11 of the race). From here, the route follows a gradual descent until the arrival, except for the short climbs to Saua Polite and Muchia Grajdului. Thus, the route will follow the red cross marking through the forest (7 km) and a section of forest road. From here, on the last 4.5 km, to avoid the traffic on Valea Poarta, the race continues, turning left and climbing a forest road from Muchia Grajdului, where you reach the Sports Hall. The last 200 m are parallel to DN 73, the arrival being in the courtyard of the Bran Castle with the entrance to the right through the Bran Customs.
