It was a really relaxed atmosphere, chill and hospitality. Good choice to mix marathon and a trip in an unpredictably friendly country. For sure, I will come back in Moldova.

O fost interesant. Multa lume bună, atmosfera prietenoasă. Trasa pentru semi e ok. La maraton trebuia de făcut două cercuri.

Interesting route

could never imagine such a cool and well organized event in this little city, proud of organizers! Hope to see many foreigners that will fully enjoy it and have a great time.

i had never participated in a marathon, so it was just a try that motivated me to go for a longer distance next year.

Route is a bit repetitive. On half-marathon you have to run the same track twice. On full marathon I guess it's four laps.

It's okay, just the scenery is not really pretty.

Well organized and good atmosphere. Only minus is that in full marathon you are running same 10,5km lap four times.

Enjoyable run with good atmosphere. Not the easiest place to get too from the U.K. but worth the journey

Straightforward course which you run twice for half marathon 4 times for full slight elevation gain at one section which is difficult 4th time round but a good course for a PB
