LET LVIV AMAZE YOU!

To the adventurous go the spoils.
Lviv (pronounced “Luh-VEEV”) is a hidden gem of Europe. It’s a charming, bohemian city of cafes and pubs, and, as you’ll soon find out, some surprisingly awesome trail running. Think of Prague or Budapest before they were ‘discovered’ by the tourist masses and you’ve got the right idea. But, don’t take our word for it – go on, have a google – the ‘buzz’ on Lviv is universally positive (“Why Lviv Makes the Best Weekend Break …” – The Independent (UK). Lviv Ultra Trail is the perfect reason to come and see this amazing, exotic city for yourself.
An Absolute Bargain
A safe, tourist-friendly place.
Most people in Lviv speak at least a bit of English. Though you probably won’t need it, each foreign participant in Lviv Ultra Trail will have direct phone access to a native English speaking (American or British) race organizer, day or night, for every eventuality. While the brave men and women countering Russian aggression in Ukraine’s east are in everybody’s hearts and minds, the reality is that this is happening over 1000 kilometers away. To put things in perspective, Venice Italy is closer than the conflict. Lviv is as safe as any western European city.
Closer than you might think.
Lviv has a modern international airport with direct budget and full-fare connections to cities throughout Europe, including London, Munich, Vienna, Warsaw, Milan, Krakow, Madrid, and many more. Indirect connections, typically through Warsaw, Munich, Vienna, or Kiev, are also readily available. Lviv Ultra Trail has been set up so that you can fly in on the Thursday or Friday before the race, run on Saturday, and then fly out as soon as Sunday. Or, stay longer if you wish! Lviv is a safe, clean, inexpensive, and charming city with plenty to do and explore. We’ll be happy to help you make plans.
