The exact Prague Ultratrail route will be published during the week before the event. Each participant will receive a detailed route itinerary at the start. The checkpoint map, excluding secret checkpoints, will be published on the event website no later than the morning of Friday, 4 December 2026.

Every participant must have sufficiently warm clothing appropriate to the current weather forecast, a good-quality headlamp, and enough spare batteries or a power bank. Do not forget your identity documents, health insurance card and a fully charged mobile phone. Reflective elements must be worn in conditions of reduced visibility.

In keeping with its philosophy, Prague Ultratrail is intended to be completed non-stop, but breaks for refreshments and short periods of sleep are of course permitted. Each participant must plan their own pace and rest periods to complete the route safely and in accordance with the event rules.

If you miss a staffed checkpoint, you may continue along the route. However, you must immediately notify the organiser by telephone and remain in contact with them. Make sure your mobile phone remains sufficiently charged throughout the event, and bring a power bank if possible.

The route includes staffed chip-timing checkpoints, self-service checkpoints with coloured markers, and secret checkpoints. Each participant receives a checkpoint card during registration and must personally record their passage through each checkpoint. Missing a checkpoint or failing to hand in the card at the finish may result in disqualification.

Participants are required to follow the prescribed route precisely. If you get lost or leave the route, you must return to the point where you left it and continue along the official route. Deliberately skipping sections is not permitted.

Refreshments will be available approximately every 15–30 km. Most refreshment points will be in pubs and restaurants near the chip-timing checkpoints, where you can purchase food and drinks. We are also preparing some light refreshments, but do not rely on these as your only source of energy. We recommend carrying sufficient cash in Czech korunas (CZK).

Yes, we provide luggage transport between the start and the finish in Prague. We only transport securely closed and, where possible, clearly labelled luggage. Plastic bags are not accepted. Pack clothing and items needed for overnight stays in your transported luggage. Keep valuables, identity documents, money, your phone and keys with you.

Yes, Prague Ultratrail takes place in all weather conditions. In December, be prepared for freezing temperatures, snow, ice, mud and reduced visibility. The route also includes challenging sections above steep drops and rocky cliffs. Do not underestimate the importance of suitable clothing, equipment and your own safety.
