The two - a 45-year-old woman from Harghita and a 39-year-old man from Cluj – fell 70 meters into a ravine, in the Dâmbovicioara area. They had started in the 14th marathon of Piatra Craiului, a race that takes place high on the crest of the mountain chain, with departure and arrival in Zărneşti, Braşov county.
