"Those who are prepared are not surprised..."

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.

For the first time in the history of the race, the ETAPA will follow a precisely defined digital route in Mapy.cz. This means:

  • Mandatory installation of Mapy.cz on every mobile phone
  • Thorough preparation – learn how to use the application, try offline navigation
  • A deviation of more than 250 m from the specified route will be penalized!!!

During the stage, you will complete three disciplines. At the end, one more discipline awaits you.

Each team member should have the following mandatory equipment:

  • Camouflage clothing and sturdy black hiking boots above the ankles
  • Mobile phone with the Mapy.cz app (offline map!)

  • Compass (for possible orientation disciplines)
  • Personal first aid kit and medicines

  • Poncho or raincoat
  • Sleeping bag and sleeping mat
  • Food preparation kit (stove, mess tin, matches)
