Run the Forests Jizera 2026

The Jizera Mountains invite you to a legendary route—ruled in winter by cross-country skiers, and on warmer days taken over by trail enthusiasts 🌲. Depending on your goals, you can choose a shorter distance of about 11 km, the classic 23 km, or take on the ultradistance challenge of 50 km 🏃. The course runs through the picturesque stadium in Bedřichov and the spectacular Josefův Důl dam, offering a soft forest surface perfect for a dynamic run 🌊.

Once you cross the finish line with a smile on your face, the Czech Jizera Mountains will charm you with their attractions. Be sure to climb the iconic Královka lookout tower, from where you’ll get a stunning panorama of the entire area 🔭. With the family, you can head to nearby Liberec to visit the modern iQlandia science center or the aquapark at Centrum Babylon 💦. If you feel like a trip, in just 20 minutes you can reach Jablonec nad Nisou, famous for its tradition of glassmaking and jewelry 💎. For well-deserved recovery after the running kilometers, a warming Czech garlic soup (česnečka) with croutons and cheese is perfect 🥣
