Run And Become 5K & 10K

Celebrate the spirit of endurance and self-transcendence at the inaugural Run and Become 5K & 10K, scheduled for Sunday, May 24, 2026. This landmark sporting event marks the first official competition organized by the Run and Become Athletic Club, held in the lush surroundings of Sofia's South Park. Under the expert guidance of club leader Shopan-Tsvetan Tsekov—a world-renowned ultramarathoner with over two decades of experience in some of the globe's most grueling multi-day races—the event aims to foster a vibrant running community in Bulgaria. Whether you are taking your first steps into competitive running or are a seasoned athlete looking for a professionally timed course, this race offers a welcoming environment focused on health, personal achievement, and the joy of running together.

Participants can look forward to a comprehensive race package that includes professional chip timing, a commemorative finisher's medal, and digital certificates to mark their milestone. The course is thoughtfully designed to showcase the natural beauty of one of Sofia's favorite urban parks, providing a supportive atmosphere for all levels. Beyond the physical challenge, the Run and Become 5K & 10K carries the philosophical weight of its founder’s experience in events like the 3100-mile Self-Transcendence race, encouraging every runner to discover their own inner potential. Join the inaugural field this May to become part of a new tradition in the heart of the Bulgarian capital.
