Enchanting Journey in the Jizera Mountains

Jizerská50 began in the late 1960s when a group of intrepid mountain climbers conceived the idea of organizing a race within the region. With a modest start in 1968, featuring a mere 52 participants, this remarkable event has blossomed into a grand celebration, inviting local and international athletes alike to embark on an extraordinary adventure in the wilderness of the Jizera Mountains.

The start and finish are in Bedřichov, a mountain village radiating a distinctive atmosphere heightened by local delicacies and fine brews. Jizerská50 garners the attention of a global audience through Ski Classics and captivates millions of Czech viewers, solidifying its status as one of the nation’s most admired and popular sporting spectacles.
