Emenski Canyon Run 2026

Emenski Canyon Run is a trail race in Emen, near Veliko Turnovo in Bulgaria, with the running centered on Emen Canyon. It is scheduled for a Saturday in November and offers three distances: 8 km, 16 km, and 24 km. The short route already climbs 360 meters, the middle route doubles that to 720 meters, and the 24 km option reaches 1,100 meters of elevation gain, so even the entry distance is not a flat jog. The starts are staggered, with the 24 km runners going first at 10:30, the 16 km race at 11:00, and the 8 km race at 11:45. SKO TRITE HULMA organizes the event, and it appears on Bulgarian race calendars as a trail event for runners choosing between a hard short course and a much bigger canyon outing. Public listings show more than 204 people interested, while Tracksport shows a modest user rating of 2.6 from 8 votes, so the available public record is useful but fairly thin.
