Lysá hora 24 hours Winter Mountain Marathon

The jubilee 10th annual 24 hours on Lysá hora was dominated by ultra-trail runner Tomáš Štverák (The North Face CZ), who conquered 12 race circuits and thus defended his victory from 2020. 600 participants arrived at the extreme endurance race in the Beskydy Mountains and their readiness was tested by the new route.

Tomáš Štverák already won in 2020. "I feel good, but the sandy traverse below Lukšinec takes a lot of strength. We'll see how it goes," Tomáš Štverák assessed the situation halfway through the race after ten o'clock on Saturday evening. And he did very well. By Sunday morning, he finally managed to complete 12 circuits (13.2 km), he had 160 km in his legs with an incredible elevation gain of over 10,000 meters and set a new course record. "I'm terribly happy, but brutally tired, the terrain took a lot of my strength. It's a shame that the route was trampled only in the last lap," said the successful defending champion in the finish depot.

In the women's category, Katka Klepáčová from Frýdek-Místek (TJ Slezan Frýdek-Místek) finished in 12 laps for the victory and the title of Champion of the Czech Republic in the winter mountain marathon.
