Race Route

The race follows a fixed course that riders need to fully stick to. Riders receive the route in .gpx format at least one week before the start.

The route is about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) long; alternatively, participants can ride half the race (500 miles) with the finish in Jeseníky mountains (only Northern route).

In 2025 there will be a route 2,000 miles (3,200 km) around Czech and Slovakia Republic. 

Runners and walkers can choose their own route and progress – they only have obligatory points on the route that they must visit.

For details about the race route, see the ROUTE page.

CheckpointS

There are several checkpoints on-route which offer basic ressources for the participants.

One of the checkpoints is about half the way through the route, it also serves as "half-way finish" at 500 miles.

Covid-19

We will respect all the regulations that will be asked of us as race organizers. Each competitor participates in the race at their own risk and it will be up to them how they approach it (for example, if vaccination is required at the border, it is up to you whether they let you cross the border or stop you - this will not be a reason for any "relief" or exception in the race. Now everyone has the option of vaccination and there is no reason to take an alternate route). We will do everything to ensure that the race takes place regularly and without restrictions beyond the necessary.

AFTERPARTY

After the end of the race, there will be a Afterparty in the Czech Vysočina region (TBD).

At the Afterparty, winners are announced and you'll receive your Finisher T-shirts.
