Vánoční běh Rudolfa Těsnohlídka
A pleasant way to say goodbye to the departing year, the traditional Vánoční běh Rudolfa Těsnohlídka takes place in Bílovice nad Svitavou on the second Saturday of December.
The start of the race is near the Lidická monument, a short distance from Leoš Janáček's spring (by the path behind the Sokolovna).
The Christmas run is intended for all age and performance categories, with an emphasis on participation and the atmosphere of winter nature, not necessarily on results (though quality performances are welcome :-)).
You can follow news about the Christmas runs on the Facebook page Bílovické běhy.
