Bezdězský půlmaraton

Bezdězský půlmaraton is a September cross-country race in the Máchův kraj region of the Czech Republic, with Bezděz Castle overlooking the course. It is a forest half marathon, not a road race, offering 21 km and 12 km options for runners seeking dirt, roots, climbs, and varied terrain. The route follows forest paths through the Kokořínsko - Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area and the castle's surroundings. It is suitable for trail runners, experienced runners seeking a unique route, and those weary of asphalt half marathons. The castle views are the race's distinct feature, presented as an off-road alternative during a month with many road races.
