The company Solopharm and the dietary supplement brand Elentra Nutrition® have become partners of one of Russia's most unusual and atmospheric running events – the night trail run Crazy Owl 50 2026 «Prophetic Oleg, Mighty Volkhov» by Running Heroes Russia.
The race will take place on June 12–13 in a new historical location – Staraya Ladoga in the Leningrad Region. Every year, Crazy Owl changes its venue, transforming the competition not just into a sporting event, but a genuine adventure with a unique atmosphere, music, nature, and even mysticism. The race has previously been held in the Tver, Kaluga, Ivanovo, and other regions, and the number of people eager to step up to this crazy start line is steadily growing!
This year, registration for the race completely closed just two hours after sales began. A total of 4,000 participants will toe the line, including 250 children.
Participants can look forward to a special concept – a blend of ancient Rus' history, the mysticism of a night trail, and the signature Rock’n’Roll aesthetic that the Crazy Owl race is famous for. Unchanging attributes of the race will once again include a rock’n’roll concert and a spectacular show from the artists, a starting chute lined with flames, fire, and volleys of fireworks, creating the atmosphere of a true adventure festival.
The route will pass through unique historical and natural sites. Participants will encounter the Lyubshanskaya Fortress – the oldest stone-and-earth fortress in ancient Rus', quarries containing trilobite fossils over 450 million years old, waterfalls, and the picturesque natural landscapes of the Leningrad Region.
Crazy Owl has long been more than just a race. It is a community of people who choose movement, strength of character, freedom, overcoming challenges, and vivid emotions. That is why the partnership with Running Heroes Russia has become an organic extension of the Solopharm and Elentra Nutrition® brand philosophy – supporting an active lifestyle and a mindful approach to health.
As part of the partnership, Solopharm and Elentra Nutrition® have prepared gifts for race participants – brand products aimed at providing support, recovery, and health care.
Commentary from the Solopharm Press Center
«Crazy Owl is a story not only about sports but also about energy, character, emotions, and people who are ready to step outside the conventional boundaries. It is important for us to support projects that unite a strong community around the values of movement, health, and inner freedom. We are delighted to become a part of this large-scale event.»
The unique atmosphere of Crazy Owl is an opportunity to be one-on-one with the trail, nature, and yourself. Night distances through mystical historical sites help you disconnect from the rhythm of the metropolis and hear your own inner voice.
