After four days of physical exertion, tactical decisions, and extreme endurance, we now know the winner of this year's Summer Survival 2025.

The third day of competition brought the most demanding part of the race – a stage with navigation via Mapy.cz, which led through the Byčí skála cave, across Lake Olšovec, and ended with a simulation of rescuing an injured person. Many teams did not complete it and lost their chance for a good ranking.

Tuesday brought the competitors their first full day of competition. Throughout the day, teams completed challenging disciplines at the Baldovec complex. Tasks included parachuting, vehicle extrication, transporting the wounded, weapon disassembly, and radio orienteering.

Today in Vyškov, the 21st annual international military competition Summer Survival 2025 was officially launched. After a morning presentation of the teams and a vceremonial parade of fifteen three-member teams from Czechia and abroad, the competitors set out to tackle the first challenges of this year's competition.

What can you expect?

The first two days will be filled with competitive disciplines at Camp Baldovec. After the second day of competition, you will set off on a long ETAPA through the Moravian Karst. It will be one of the most demanding stages due to its length.
