Running team of our company completed 345 km from the Tatras to the Danube during the weekend of August 14 - 15, 2021. We ran day and night, on asphalt, concrete and gravel.

We love challenges. With the final time of 31:27:43, we placed 92th out of a total of 180 registered teams, in the ALL category we took 70th place and in the corporate relay category we finished 30th. 💪

We didn't even notice the protective measures of Covid-19 and we were creating a lead from the start. We were bothered by heat again, especially on Sunday, but we avoided injuries and overtook the storm…

And how did it all go?

We started in Jasná on Saturday, August 14, 2021 at 8:00.
The track was divided into 36 sections with a length of 7 to 12 km.
Team of our company ŠK SFÉRA - ZDRAVÝ ŽIVOT consisted of 12 runners: Martin, Kris, Livka, Gabo, Maja, Miro, Janči, Pali, Tony, Šaňo, Attila, Miška, with 2 drivers: Mirka and Karči.
We had two cars, each with a driver and 6 runners.
The car dropped the runner at the handover, picked up the finisher and hurried to the next handover.
The runner had little time to prepare change/start number/quick warm-up/toilet before running ...
The relay pin was a GPS tracker, so it was possible to follow the course of the relay online.
After six sections, the runner from the other car took over the baton.
The resting car had to catch the food and move 6 sections to the next point. There were about 2 hours left for "sleep" ...
We ran non-stop day-night-day on asphalt, concrete, gravel and clay ...
Each runner ran 3 sections, so he ran 22 to 33 km in less than 24 hours.
In total, we overcame a 4,100 m ascent and a 4,970 m descent.
We reached the finish line at the Aréna Theater on Tyršovo nábreží on Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 3:27 p.m.
