The Brașov Running Festival is an annual road-based 10K run hosted by Brașov, Romania, since 2021.[5]:{{{3}}}[3]:{{{3}}} The race is a World Athletics Elite Label Road Race.[6]:{{{3}}} A 5K run is also offered earlier in the day.[3]:{{{3}}}
In both 2021 and 2022, both the male and female Romanian 10K all-comers records were broken.[4]:{{{3}}}
History
The inaugural race was held on 26 September 2021.[5]:{{{3}}}[7]:{{{3}}} The 10K was won by Kenyan runners Peter Mwaniki Aila and Nelly Jepchumba, with finish times of 28:39 and 32:11, respectively.[7]:{{{3}}}[lower-alpha 2] Both victors had set new Romanian 10K all-comers records, with Alia's performance being considered amongst the top 50 in the world at the time, and Jepchumba's amongst the top 30.[7]:{{{3}}}[4]:{{{3}}}
The 2022 edition of the race, held on 25 September, saw the breaking of both Romanian 10K all-comers records again.[4]:{{{3}}} Kenyan runners Nicholas Kimeli and Sheila Chepkirui won the 10K, with finish times of 26:51 and 30:07, respectively.[4]:{{{3}}} Kimeli's time established him as the fifth-fastest 10K runner ever, and Chepkirui missed breaking the women-only 10K world record by six seconds.[4]:{{{3}}}

The races are run on a loop with a length of 3,494 m (11,463 ft).[3]:{{{3}}}[lower-alpha 3] All the races use the same finish line, but their starting points vary depending on the length of the race.[3]:{{{3}}}
The course is located north of the main train station, in the Tractorul neighbourhood of Brașov.[2]:{{{3}}}[9]:{{{3}}}[lower-alpha 4] The 10K begins on Camil Petrescu Street.[2]:{{{3}}} Runners first head east before turning onto a minor path parallel to Camil Petrescu Street.[2]:{{{3}}}[9]:{{{3}}} After about 150 m (500 ft) on that path, racers make a sharp left turn onto Zaharia Stancu Street.[2]:{{{3}}}[9]:{{{3}}} After passing by the largest shopping mall in Transylvania, the course turns left onto 13 December Street and heads south for about 300 m (1000 ft) before turning left again, back onto Camil Petrescu Street, to complete the loop.[2]:{{{3}}}[7]:{{{3}}}[9]:{{{3}}}[10]:{{{3}}} Runners of the 10K complete just under three of these loops, finishing on Camil Petrescu Street slightly west of where they started.[2]:{{{3}}}
