A member of the organizing team will place the GPS unit into the competitor's vest. GPS units will be collected at the finish immediately after finishing the race.

The GPS tracks of both races will be available after the last competitor has started on Sunday on the following webpages:

Both contour interval 5m, ISOM 2017, mapped 11/2017-12/2018, revised 3-4/2019, mapper Tom Novak.

Special map symbols: brown triangle - platform

Due to the necessary degree of generalisation in the ISOM2017 key, cliffs (rockfaces) smaller than 1.5 m and boulders smaller than 1 m are not mapped. On steep slopes with many rocks/cliffs, separate cliffs are generalized as a continuous rockface. The level of generalization is higher than was common for races in Bohemian rocky areas in the past.

The area has been affected by windbreak and by the bark beetle, and the forest is actively extracted by forestery. There is a large number of UNMAPPED rootstocks.

All maps will be printed on waterproof paper (PRETEX).

Maps will be collected at the finish on both days and will be available on Sunday after the start of the last competitor in the finish area (details to be announced in the competition center).

Map samples and previous maps of the area posted here. If you require a printed version of a previous map of the area, ask us on Turn on JavaScript!.

Terrain:

Sandstone area. Rugged terrain with deep as well as shallow valleys, rocky ridges, rock and boulder formations, nice pine and mixed forest (generally good runnability).

Forbidden areas:

It is forbidden to enter areas marked in the map with symbol number 412 (cultivated land).

Whilst in the forest, you must follow forest law – entry to fenced in areas is forbidden.

Compulsory sections:

  • start – beginning of navigation: route marked with orange streamers, the beginning of the navigation is marked on the map (triangle), and with a flag in terrain

There are no control descriptions at the start!

Punching system:

All classes will use the Sportident electronic punching system. SI units including the finish unit will be set to Air mode, allowing punching at a distance of up to 0.5m from the unit. The time will be measured with accuracy to the nearest second.

All types of SI-cards can be used, including SI10 and SI11. The SI-card must not be used twice in one day. Competitors with their own SI-card must fill in the number of their SI-card in the entry, others may hire an SI-card from the organizer for 40 CZK/day upon provision of a telephone number (not SIAC). Please specify the rental requirements in the entry and make the payment together with the starting fee. Competitors should return hired SI-cards at the download station after finishing their runs.

Clearing and checking of SI-cards is done by each competitor in the start corridor. The race finishes by punching the finish unit on the finish line. In case of SI unit failure, use the pin punch to mark the fields placed on the edge of the map. All competitors who have started must report to download, including those who did not finish or have controls missing.
