The 50-kilometer long-distance race will take place on Sunday, February 12, 2023, in the Czech Republic. Its unique feel reminds many skiers of the sceneries in Scandinavian races combined with a European touch, bringing the best of both worlds. 

The event was established in the late 1960s when mountain climbers decided to organize a race in the area. The first race in 1968 had only 52 participants but grew into a welcoming festival for both local and international participants, who get a chance to experience an unforgettable adventure in the wilderness of the Jizera Mountains. 

The start and finish are in Bedrichov, a mountain village with a unique atmosphere enhanced by local delicatessen and beer. Besides the global audience brought by Ski Classics, the race is followed by millions of Czech viewers, making it one of the most popular sports events in the country.
