Get ready for one of the most iconic and legendary triathlon events in the Czech Republic, which every year draws true people of iron to the start 🏊🚴🏃. The main highlight is the competition over the middle distance (the so-called half: 1.9 km swimming, 90 km cycling, and 21.1 km running), but the organizers also take care of younger and less experienced athletes. The swim leg in the picturesque, clean waters of the artificial Hrádek reservoir near Pardubice guarantees a fast start, and the flat yet spectacular bike and run course is perfect for chasing personal bests ⏱️.
Once you’ve crossed the finish line with a triumphant shout and collected your well-deserved medal, the surroundings of Pardubice will offer you plenty of ways to create the perfect weekend:
For a walk: Be sure to head to the historic market square in Pardubice and visit the Renaissance castle (Pardubický zámek), around which peacocks proudly stroll 🦚.
For families: Go to a nearby crafts museum or spend a calm afternoon on the banks of the Elbe, relaxing after a gigantic effort 🌳.
For a trip: In just 30 minutes you can get to the charming town of Litomyšl to tour the local castle listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its unique sgraffito decorations 🏰.
Pardubice is the Czech gingerbread capital! After burning thousands of calories, nothing will help you recover better than traditional, richly decorated Pardubice gingerbread (Pardubický perník) and a proper Czech lunch with goulash and a mug of local Pernštejn beer 🍺.
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
