News #52: 24-Hour & 48‑Hour Ultra Race – Kladno, Czech Republic – July 25–27, 2025

Posted on by Yatkara

Over the weekend, ultrarunners pushed their limits at the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 24-Hour and 48-Hour Races held in the beautiful Sletiště Park, Kladno. The course – a nearly flat 1 km loop around the athletic stadium with just 1 meter of elevation—provided a scenic, shaded route lined with trees and well-lit for night running. Both events are IAU Bronze Label certified and were conducted under the supervision of official referees and technical committee members to ensure fair competition and adherence to international race standards.

Participants benefited from excellent support, including refreshment stations offering warm and cool food, medical and massage services, showers, restrooms, and access to athletic stadium facilities. Runners could also set up personal camping tables and chairs in designated areas for their belongings and nutrition.
