The call of the mountains returns – Lupii Dacilor, Trofeul Muscelului 2025
This autumn, an authentic MTB experience awaits once again in Campulung Muscel, where riders take on the spectacular trails of the Iezer-Papusa massif. In 2025, the EPIC course becomes even more challenging, stretching to 60 km – a true test of endurance and skill. This edition also marks the hosting of Stage 6 of the National MTB Cup, making the race a key highlight of the season.

 

Every climb and every descent comes with a reward: cool mountain forests, breathtaking views, and a true spirit of competition. It's time to answer the call.

Course Marking

The course will be finalized and prepared on the day of the event. In an effort to protect the forests and natural areas where the event takes place, the marking will be minimal. For this reason, we kindly ask you to review the course map before the race, pay close attention to the existing signs, and follow the instructions of the volunteers. Course marking details will be provided in the Participant Guide during the week of the event.
