Jizerská Padesatka

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 have decided to organize a virtual race thanks to which we will be able to continue in the more than 50-year history of Jizerská 50 at least at a distance and commemorate the climbers of the 1970 Peru Expedition.

The OC prepared a virtual version of Jizerská 50 for all the competitors, from 6th February to 28th February. 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 receive a crystal medal, a start number, a memorial medal and many other gifts. The race packages will be sent out starting from Monday 8th Feb.
