Kros přes sv. Bartoloměj 2026

Kros přes sv. Bartoloměj is a trail race held in Běšiny, a village near the Šumava foothills. The start, finish, and race headquarters are located at Eurocamp Běšiny. The event takes place in early October and features a 13 km main course with 440 meters of elevation gain, alongside a 6 km hobby race for those seeking a shorter run. The primary route largely follows forest paths, encircling the St. Bartholomew's Church ruins. It includes two ascents towards the ruin, which stands at 693 meters above sea level. The shorter hobby course is a modified version of the main route, omitting the climb to the ruin. The main race is divided into men's and women's age categories, whereas the hobby race is open to all without age divisions. Two aid stations are provided along the course, and registration covers a bib and a commemorative medal.
