Olympijský běh – Benešov nad Ploučnicí
Benešov nad Ploučnicí will be part of our running map for the eighth time. The facilities and finish line return to the area of the Benešov thermal swimming pool. The start is traditionally at Občerstvení Pod lesem on the cycle path. The course leads partly on asphalt and partly on forest paths along the Ploučnice River. In addition to the joy of movement, you can enjoy the feeling that you have supported a good cause - part of the entry fee goes to the account of the Czech Olympic Foundation.
