Králický Sněžník Beze stopy 2026

Králický Sněžník Beze stopy is a Czech uphill mountain race from Heřmanice u Králík to the summit of Králický Sněžník, typically held in June or July. The main race covers 14.1 km with 1,050 m of climbing, making it short in distance but significant in ascent. The route avoids asphalt, featuring mountain trails, forest paths, rocky sections, and steep ground described by organizers as “chamois terrain.” Juniors compete in a separate 5 km race from Puchača saddle to the same summit finish, ascending 440 m. The course ascends from Heřmanice over Klepáč, passes Puchača saddle, continues by Malý Sněžník, and concludes atop Králický Sněžník. Puchača also functions as a refreshment point and has a time limit, indicating the race's demanding nature. The profile is predominantly uphill, with brief technical descents that interrupt the climb and require focus. The ridge offers views towards Poland’s Kłodzko Basin and the Dolní Morava valley. The race is part of the Czech Uphill Running Cup and the Iscarex Cup, adheres to Czech uphill-running category rules, and is organized by Atletický klub Račí údolí with a stated aim of minimal waste.
