Final days to join the virtual Jizerska 50
Unfortunately only the professionals’ races were granted the exemption by the Czech Ministry of Health, but Jizerská 50 is unique mainly because of the participation of hobby skiers. For this reason the organizers decided to offer a virtual race thanks to which the more than 50-year history of Jizerská 50 can continue at least at a distance and commemorate the climbers of the 1970 Peru Expedition.
All those registered for the 54th edition of the race are automatically registered for the virtual race too and they can soon expect their race package to arrive. Everyone will be sent a crystal medal, a start number, a memorial medal and many other gifts.
The virtual race also represents a chance to all so-far unregistered skiers to register now. Until 28th February, everyone has the chance to be part of the event. Read more about the virtual race, its rules and instructions:
