Dobromir KARAMARINOV Bulgarian Athletic Federation President
Dear Friends, For the second time Bulgarian Athletic Federation is hosting the Balkan Mountain Running Championships. Once again the best mountain runners of the Balkans will gather in Teteven to try their strength against each other on the hard up-and-down course. I am sure the athletes are well prepared and will be able to show the best of their skills. The officials have profound knowledge on the specifications of mountain running after having participated in the seminar we staged last month in Sapareva Banya. Bulgarian Federation in partnership with Teteven Municipality is aiming to host the World Mountain Running Championships 2011. I hope this year’s Balkan event will contribute to promoting the city and prove once again the organizational potential of our federaion. Enjoy the race; enjoy the beauty of Teteven and the hospitability of the local people! Good luck to all participants!
