From "Vitosha 100" to Everest

• Completing the iconic "Vitosha 100" course with the help of his pacers.
• Successfully finishing the 160-kilometer Persenk Ultra ultramarathon.
• The Everesting challenge in 2025: 19 ascents of Cherni Vrah in 46 hours without sleep (9,114 m elevation gain).

Why you shouldn't miss the meeting

Besides being a successful athlete, Viktor is a motivational speaker and an advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. Meeting him is not just a lecture, but a lesson in humanity, trust, and belief in one's own abilities. Come to the "Inspirers" zone to hear how every obstacle can be turned into a strength.
