Slovakia·2026

Košice

Košice's running scene centres on flat city circuits: the VSE City Run and U.S. Steel Family Run both stick to 4km routes through the downtown and industrial areas on minimal elevation. Cyclists in eastern Slovakia cluster around the local mountain bike scene—the Detská liga MTB races and regional road championships (SP CC time trial and mass start events) use the foothills south and east of the city, with climbs into the Slovak Ore Mountains starting 20-30km away.
