Night Run Bachledka 2026

Night Run Bachledka is an evening mountain run held at BACHLEDKA Ski & Sun in Ždiar, located in Bachledová dolina. The primary races commence at 17:00, with a 20:00 cutoff, meaning participants navigate the course during twilight, distinct from typical daytime road races. Adult participants can select between a 12 km race with 234 m of elevation gain or a 6 km race with 146 m of elevation gain. The event also includes children's races scheduled before the main starts. The courses traverse Bachledová dolina and the village of Ždiar, offering a concentrated High Tatras foothills atmosphere without classifying as an ultra or extended trail event. Children's categories begin with the youngest participants at 16:00, featuring distances ranging from 100 m for ages 2-5 to 800 m for ages 13-15. Men and women compete in age categories starting from 15 years old. All finishers are awarded a participant medal, and top performers have the opportunity to win material prizes or financial incentives.
