About the race
Pražský Kelt is a 100 km ultra trail that follows a looped route through wooded, hilly areas of Prague with a total ascent of 2500 m. The course combines natural trails and urban sections: about 85 km runs through natural terrain and 15.5 km through the city, with roughly 61% on footpaths and unpaved surfaces and 39% on asphalt, stone or concrete.
The event starts and finishes at the grounds of Základní škola Kunratice in Prague 4 - Kunratice. The race route links several local hillforts and green areas and uses existing urban passages where necessary; organizers avoid running on main traffic roads. Competitors receive the detailed route and GPX approximately two weeks before the start.
On-course support includes multiple aid stations that also serve as control points; previous editions provided a variety of drinks (water, tea, sports drink, cola, nonalcoholic beers) and food (soup, cheese, salami, lard, nuts, dried fruit, cookies, chocolate, fruit purees, bananas, apples, oranges) with a final meal of a traditional Celtic goulash and a vegan alternative. Top three finishers receive trophies and prizes; finishers receive diplomas and medals. Partial finishers reaching about 30 km (Vyšehrad) are eligible for a diploma, with recorded distances for later checkpoints.
The event has a participant capacity of 120 and recent registration periods show tiered entry fees. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
