Nearly 100 people from all over the country took part in the Kamchia Sands half marathon, the website bgathletic.com reports. The run on the longest beach in Bulgaria was organized by the Razgrad-based club "Green Foot" and was held on Saturday in the Kamchia resort complex on the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
The participants in the sixth edition of Kamchia Sands, the only marathon on sand in Bulgaria, started in the evening and ran under the rays of the setting sun, as the last participants crossed the finishing line in the moonlight.
In order to run the distance of 21 km, they had to reach the neighboring resort of Shkorpilovtsi and return running only on the sand. 
The winner became Apostol Atanasov from Veliko Tarnovo with a result of 1 hour 35 minutes.
