About the race
The Halda Trail Run is an experiential trail running race taking place in Kuřimská Nová Ves on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The attractive route features 23 water crossings in its longest variant, measuring approximately 24 kilometers. This distance can be completed within a 3-hour time limit by moderately trained athletes. Shorter variants are also available, including a route that follows the first approximately 14 km of the main course, and a non-competitive 4 km option for those who wish to enjoy the race atmosphere.
The race predominantly runs through forests and meadows, away from main tourist paths, making it suitable for nature lovers and ambitious trail runners alike. The entire route will be clearly marked with arrows and flags on the day of the event. The water crossings are runnable, typically ankle-deep, and will provide a pleasant refreshment during the summer race.
The race route offers a diverse experience with panoramic landscape views, two steep but short ascents, a deep rocky valley, and wide, sunny meadows with soft grass.
