Ultra-marathon runner Pirin Galov and Pavlin Raichev start their run along the 580-kilometer Kom-Emine route in the Balkan Mountain at 07:00 a.m. today. The two will make an attempt to pass the long route at high speed in tandem and to set a record – reach the final point in less than 5 days. 

The runners chose to raise funds for the purchase of a specialized wheelchair to support the activities of the "Come You Too" foundation as the cause of their challenge. "For 7 years now with the support of the foundation, more than 250 people with disabilities and more than 450 volunteers enter caves, participate in mountain running competitions, sail rivers, climb peaks, and fly with a paraglider. An unforgettable emotion for all participants. And when someone says 'It's impossible!', they answer: 'No, it's possible!'", the organizers say.
