Hristo Tsvetkov ran the 100 km in the tour of Vitosha Mountain, clocking in at 7.45: 34 h. He improved his own record by 22 minutes. The 27-year-old athlete was ahead of the others in the race by nearly an hour. 

"The route was good, there was not much mud until the last 15 km, which made it very difficult for me, I lost maybe more than 5 minutes there," said the winner.


2 minutes and 3 seconds were not enough for Nadezhda Angelova to improve the women's record from 2020. Angelova finished in 9.19:35 h.
