I am rating the Transylvania Trail Traverse which was actually on Sept 4-5, 2015 put on by Lost Worlds racing. Be warned this race is not for the faint of heart. It is extremely technical, steep and involves sections of rock climbing(which I was not expecting or prepared for)It has very little course support and you are likely to be alone most of the race. I missed the 11 hour checkpoint cutoff so only did about 20 miles of the 62 total. It took me another 3 hours just to get back to the race start from the top of Omu peak( which you summit 3 times during the race). That said it is extremely beautiful in a remote and bleak sort of way and the town of Bran and Romania are great to visit.
