Race Description:

Although Rajd Beskidy short course has "short" in its name, it is actually a challenging race that takes place in the hilly terrain on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic.

Its length (about 200 km) combined with significant elevation gain (about 4,500 m) and demanding navigation means, that it is a challenge even for the best teams. In 2025, the HQ as well as the start and finish, will be located in Poland, but teams will repeatedly cross the Czech border.

Traditionally, besides typical disciplines such as MTB, trekking, and paddling, teams will have to tackle navigation tasks requiring precision and attention, climbing, and other tasks making it necessary for participants to be versatile. They will receive various types of maps: lidar, itineraries, and transformed maps. The course is intended exclusively for four-person mixed teams. They certainly won't be bored.
