Ještěd 2024

A rocket to Mars? We’d rather ride to the rocket – silver, enigmatic and watching over Liberec. In the very heart of the North Bohemian metropolis, the peloton will set off to conquer the most beautiful spots in the Jizera Mountains from the saddle of a road bike. The cycle journey will climax with an iconic climb to the definition of a monument – Ještěd.

FURTHER DETAILS

A proven monument. From Liberec, the peloton takes the direction of Bedřichov and sails into the Jizera Mountains. The grandiose finish provides an unmistakable peak towering high above the surroundings.

Two formats: sportive style and race

Do you want to enjoy closed roads, a varied route full of beautiful places and relax at the refreshment stations? Then we have a sportive style format for you.

Do you like big challenges and want to keep your coffee as a reward after crossing the finish line? Then choose the second format, push as hard as you can and keep the total time to a minimum.

Sportive style and race classification

Participants of race ride for overall and premium/segment standings. The "sportive style" riders choose this format because they don't need to chase seconds and prefer the comfort of traffic free roads. We will of course time them but will not create a classification based on total time. However, we still offer an element of competitiveness - focus on the segments.

 

Who we are announcing

At the race we announce and award the top three men and top three women. At the same time, another winners will come from the segments. The sportive style will also have a segment king and queen. We do not keep different age categories for either format.

 

 

 

Service
