The Beauty of Sunrise Ultra
The Official Event T-Shirt
👕 Our t-shirt – and maybe yours. Bring the spirit of Sunrise Ultra with you – a design inspired by the endless sea horizon.
🎨 We present you a canvas woven from the colors of sunrise and the rhythm of movement. The Sunrise Ultra 2025 t-shirt is a visual embodiment of the event itself – the energy of running, the freedom of motion, the push of the wind. Wear this artistic interpretation of your passion. You can add it during registration – a special selection for those who want to carry a piece of the race with them.
Your Finisher Medal
🏅 The new Sunrise Ultra medal captures the sunrise, the waves, and the journey – everything you'll carry long after crossing the finish line.
🌅 Inspired by the morning light over the northern Black Sea coast, this medal is a symbol of effort, distance overcome, and the place you've reached – Cape Shabla. It's waiting for you there, if you complete the 55, 30, or 13 km within the official cutoff time.
