How to enjoy Jizerská50 as a spectator

Stadion Bedřichov

The heart of the event and the best place to soak up the atmosphere. Fans can watch the mass start, cheer athletes at the finish, and attend the award ceremony.

A comprehensive program of activities for both athletes and visitors is planned throughout the day, including partner booths.

The official opening ceremony takes place on Thursday, February 6, at 18:00.

Nová Louka

(All races except Friday)

One of the most iconic locations on the course, combining great racing views with a pleasant setting. The race can be followed near Šámalova chata, with refreshments and scenic surroundings.

Friday races take place only around the stadium.

For Jizerská 17, athletes pass through Nová Louka twice. Access is recommended on foot from Bedřichov, as parking is not available during the race.

Jizerka

(Main race on Sunday only)

Located at kilometer 22 of the main 50km course, Jizerka is a popular spectator spot. Fans can cheer athletes during a beautiful downhill section, near the refreshment station or the ČEZ sprint prize. Parking is available.

Smědava

(Main race on Sunday only)

Another excellent cheering point at kilometer 29 of the course. The most challenging climb towards Knajpa begins here, often where the race pace and the athlete’s strength begin to break. Parking and refreshments are available nearby.

Organizers do not recommend spectating in other locations. For safety and smooth race operation, recreational skiers are also advised not to enter the course during the race.
