Background
Information

Sofia is the capital of the Balkan state of Bulgaria. Known as the land of the roses because it produces 85% of the world's rose oil, you may be surprised to learn that nodding your head means no and shaking your head means yes here! Sitting below the Vitosha Mountain, Sofia has 2,000 years of history including rule by the Greeks, Romans, Ottoman empire and more recently the Soviet occupation. The impressive Alexander Nevski Cathedral is perhaps the most famous of the sights, although there are plenty more with some amazing architecture. This is a very green city and there are plenty of parks, not to mention mineral spring spas in which to relax. Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007 but has retained it's own currency - the Lev - this means amazing value in the shops, bars and cafes. The race takes in many of the sights of the city. We have good links with the race organisers.
