About the Event

Embrace the rugged soul of Northern Albania at the Migrant Trail Race "Fushë Arrëz" on August 8-9, 2026. This premier ultra-trail event transcends athletic competition, weaving through majestic pine forests, past the roaring Kryeziu Waterfall, and along the dramatic ridgelines of the Albanian Alps. Choose your own mountain saga across five meticulously crafted distances, from the accessible 10K river course to the epic 103km journey across the "Dardha's Ridge." More than a race, it's a profound homecoming, timed with the town's annual "Homeland is a Legacy" festival, celebrating deep roots and migratory spirit. You'll test your limits on ancient shepherd paths, discover untouched landscapes, and connect with a community whose warmth matches the challenge of the terrain. This is where raw, mountainous beauty meets unparalleled trail-running passion, creating memories that resonate long after you cross the finish line in the vibrant town center.
