Beskydská sedmička ultramarathon event

Overview

The 17th edition of the IMOS Beskydská sedmička ultramarathon was scheduled to begin on August 28 in Třinec, featuring a 101-kilometer course with 5,500 meters of elevation gain. The event introduced a structural change by transitioning from a duo-based competition to an individual-only format, with approximately 3,000 runners from 14 countries expected to participate.

Upon the race's commencement, Czech President Petr Pavel attended the opening ceremony to launch the event. He commended the organizers for the logistical complexity of the race, describing the management of medical services and supply stations as a ‘nearly superhuman task.’ Despite facing difficult weather conditions, including heavy rain and nighttime storms, the race proceeded, with Tomáš Maceček winning the men's stage.
