Petrom invites people of all ages interested in sport to come to Piata Constitutiei on September 25th to join the sixth edition of Petrom Cross. Registrations for the cross will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the start of the competition will be at 11:00 o’clock.

We would like to thank those who were there with us at the previous editions and also to invite them again this year to promote together an active life, sports and a healthy lifestyle", said Dan Pazara, Petrom Communication Manger.

The novelty of this year’s edition is brought by the ranking system of the runners developed with the help of an electronic tracking system. Each participant at the Petrom cross will receive a T-shirt and a unique registration number in the contest, mandatory for the measurement of its performance in the final classification. Thus, each runner will have to step through the special carpet from the "start"/"finish" line in order to activate the sensor and to monitor the runner’s performance in the final ranking.

Carmen Bruma and Adrian Nartea will be joining you all day long, the specialists of Worldclass have prepared zumba, kickbox and cycling sessions and Hervis Sports representatives have decided to challenge you to a basketball, ping pong, volleyball and football game.
