Decided! Šumavský skimaraton will take place.

However, due to very unfavorable snow conditions, we are forced to make significant changes to the race rules. The changes concern the length of the trails, the location of the start and finish, and the timing program. Please follow the race website and other race information channels closely.

STARTING POINT: Modrava (ski trail start towards Březník), CHILDREN'S RACES ARE CANCELLED.

FINISH POINT: Kvilda If we are lucky, on the meadow below the forest at the mouth of Vltavská cesta, In case of worsening conditions, the finish will be set at the end of the snow cover on Vltavská cesta, marked with signs CÍL and installed with a timing device. There will be no sound system or refreshments.

TRAILS and STARTING TIMES:

Saturday skate - starting time 9:30 am The 46 km FT and 23 km FT trails merge into a single 17 km FT trail (Modrava, Modravský potok - bridge, Na Ztraceném, Nad Ptačí nádrží, Černá hora, Pramen Vltavy, along Vltavská cesta to the edge of the forest or to the end of the snow).

The 8 km FT Šumavská pohoda trail changes to 14 km FT, starts 5 minutes after the 17 km FT trail, is non-competitive, and participants will ride from the Modrava bridge directly to Černohorská nádrž, Nad Ptačí nádrží and Černá hora….

Both Saturday trails have no refreshment stations.

CHILDREN'S RACES ARE CANCELLED.

Sunday classic - starting time 9:30 am

The 45 km CT and 23 km CT trails merge into a single 25 km CT trail (Modrava, Modravský potok - bridge, Na Ztraceném, Nad Ptačí nádrží, Černohorská nádrž, Modravský potok - bridge (refreshment station), Na Ztraceném, Nad Ptačí nádrží, Černá hora, Pramen Vltavy, along Vltavská cesta to the edge of the forest or to the end of the snow). We have adjusted the start times to minimize conflicts with the general public and easier parking in Modrava for early starters. The race course is currently one of the few skiable cross-country trails in Šumava.
