Romanian ultramarathon runner Tibi Ușeriu will embark on a symbolic journey in October from Rome to Drobeta-Turnu Severin, retracing the historic route of the Roman legions as part of a campaign to promote Via Transilvanica, Romania’s long-distance cultural trail. Tibi joins his brother, Alin Ușeriu, who set off on June 12 to walk the entire Via Transilvanica round-trip within Romania. On October 6, a Via Transilvanica milestone will be unveiled at the Accademia di Romania in Rome, in collaboration with the Romanian Embassy and the Romanian Cultural Institute, marking the historic connection between Rome and Romania, according to a press release. The following morning, Tibi Ușeriu will depart from Trajan’s Column, running alongside fellow athlete Cristian Deac and supported by volunteer driver Cătălin Sava. “Via Transilvanica is one of the most beautiful national projects to become reality in today’s Romania,” said Oana Boșca Mălin, deputy director of the Accademia di Romania.
