From June to September, Borovets organized several high-class competitions. The best Bulgarian athletes competed in mountain running, mountain biking and summer biathlon championships. The Magic of Rila Mountain Festival gathered folklore groups from all over Bulgaria and the traditional holiday of the Rila Mountain was marked by a mass climb on peak Musala. During the summer months, two of the lifts in the resort – the gondola lift Yastrebets and the high speed quad Sitnyakovo Express – were in operation.
As in previous years, Borosport continued to support various charity initiatives. This year, the resort helped to organize the summer camp of Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus - Bulgaria Association, allowing children with disabilities to enjoy Rila Mountain. Borosport supported its own staff who were affected by the floods in Samokov. The resort has strengthened its policy of working with future sport stars in various disciplines and has continued its support for our best mountain biker Victoria Gonceva. Borosport also allowed ten athletes from Pro Samokov biking team to use the facilities in the resort for free.
In the summer of 2017 a reconstruction of the water supply network in Borovets was carried out. The repair was executed by a project of the municipality of Samokov and valued 2.8 million BGN. Meanwhile a complete renovation of the west wing of the biggest hotel in the region - hotel Rila took place, with 330 new SUPERIOR rooms to be launched in October.
