Ponitrianska Stovka 2026

Ponitrianska Stovka is a Slovak mixed-surface ultra covering a 105-106 km route with approximately 3,900 meters of elevation gain. It begins at 7:00 AM in Nitra, with editions typically held in September. Participants have until noon the following day to complete the course. The event is organized by Obcianske zdruzenie SLOVAK ULTRA TRAIL and features distinct men's and women's categories. The event route guides runners from the parking area below Zobor in Nitra towards Handlova, concluding at the former CVC Relax building on F. Nadasdyho street. However, a results route for a different edition indicates a 106 km course finishing back in Nitra. The checkpoint names reflect the race's character: Jaraba skala, Velke Pole, Jedlove Kostolany, Skycov, Sedlo Rakyta, Jedliny, Remitaz, and Zobor are all listed before the final kilometers. Finish times ranging from 21 to 24 hours in the results table confirm this is an overnight mountain-and-trail undertaking, distinct from a long road race.
