Extreme bike-packing race challenging riders with distance 200-400 km, elevation up to 6000 m, and unpredictable winter weather with 66% nighttime. Racers navigate using the MapCatch app, seeing only 10 km ahead at any time. With no fixed finish location, this race embodies the spirit of adventure, pushing participants to their limits.

The event is designed to fit perfectly into a Friday-to-Sunday window. We have a special feature to be able to modify the route during the event without competitors needing to care about that. As long as you stay mentally strong, and you are ready for wet and cold conditions, you should make it.

The starting point is revealed progressively before the start. The finish is not fixed, but it is always enough close to a train station to be able to join the starting point or directly any point of Europe within the end of the week-end. Czech trains almost all allow to transport bikes for a low fixed fee.

The race route is revealed ot each competitor exactly 10km ahead. For that purpose it is mandatory to have the MapCatch application installed on an Android device. To be safe it is strictly recommended to test the application upfront especially in wet and freezing conditions.
