”I am delighted that that 10th edition of the DHL Carpathian Mountain Relay will take place this year.  We are proud to have reached such a milestone with this very special event, and of its tradition of promoting sport, health and also the National Paralympic Committee of Romania (NPC).  Our support of NPC, to whom all participation fees are donated, goes from strength to strength, and it is fantastic to witness how all our marathon participants are assisting with the development of Paralympic sport in Romania – and in particular, directly assisting in growing the Romania team’s participation numbers at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games.  I wish all our participants and supporters a wonderful experience at the event and look forward to meeting them at the start line!”, stated Daniel Kearvell, Managing Director, DHL Express Romania.

Constantina Diță, our Olympic Champion at marathon, will join the event again this year: “I am very pleased to be part of the DHL Carpathian Marathon powered by MPG story in its special, anniversary edition! I really like to run on mountain trails and my aim is to participate in the Half-marathon competition this year. I really appreciate the cause that the DHL Carpathian Marathon powered by MPG continues to sustain. The Romanian Paralympic athletes really need our support! They deserve our attention and we have to give them the strength and the chance to follow their dreams!”, she said.

“I support with all my heart this year’s edition, as it’s an event that brings me many beautiful memories. DHL Carpathian Marathon powered by MPG is more than a running race, it’s a chance to enjoy the Romania’s Carpathian Mountains, to meet runners passionate, to live pure adrenaline and to contribute to the dream of The Romanian Paralympics, the social cause of the event. I am happy to support this event, which encourages both practicing sport and supporting good causes!”, said Gabriela Szabo.

“It’s the first marathon I join. I don’t practice sport to participate in competitions. I’m doing this to compete with myself. I think this is the essence of the DHL Carpathian Marathon powered by MPG. To win the competition with your own limits. And the best example for crossing the limits is offered exactly by the ones we run for: the Paralympic athletes”, said Mihai Morar.

“I am often asked ‘why I’m running’. My answer is that I run because, in addition to the health and the clarity of my mind, the running brings me joy. It’s also a way to meditate and my way to demonstrate that the only limits we face are in our minds. Every running is a reward in itself and it always succeeds in bringing the smile on my face. I am very happy to run again the Half-marathon category at the DHL Carpathian Marathon powered by MPG. It’s an incredible adventure to run on one of Romania’s most beautiful mountain trails, along with extraordinary people that are united by the same passion for performance, and the fact that my effort will help Romanian Paralympic athletes gives me an extra motivation to challenge myself. I hope to meet as many as possible of you on June 22, at the start line in Cheile Grădiştei, Fundata!”, said Dragoş Bucurenci.
