Race guide

One riverside transition and a Masaryk Square finish

The current official race page still refers to the completed August 16, 2026 edition and does not confirm a next race day here. Its course details are useful for comparing the event with other 70.3 options, but a future entry or travel plan needs a new dated announcement.

The swim is described as a clockwise oval in the Elbe beside the city centre, with a rolling start. River conditions and the final buoy layout determine race-day decisions. Practise sighting and controlled starts in suitable supervised open water, and follow the organizer’s actual water and equipment instructions rather than assuming the river will always be calm.

The bike leaves the city boulevards for undulating countryside and winding roads. Prepare to change gears and effort smoothly while keeping enough capacity for the run. Broad promotional descriptions of a fast course should not override the rolling profile or your own sustainable riding ability.

The run starts from the same riverside transition area, moves through streets and parks, and finishes on Masaryk Square near the meeting of the Elbe and Orlice. Choose a supporter meeting point outside the finish process and confirm access on the final map. Shared transition does not mean that the finish, bag collection and morning entrance are all at the same spot.

Next edition awaiting confirmation

An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
