Jizerská50 – Course Map & Profile

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. 

Grand Classics

The Grand Classics are the four largest and most prestigious events in Ski Classics: Marcialonga, Jizerská50, Vasaloppet, and Birkebeinerrennet. The skier that wins all four events in the same season completes a Grand Slam. 

During Season XI, the Grand Classics events and the Grand Slam were introduced in Ski Classics. The concept was an immediate success and great motivation among the best Pro Team athletes of Ski Classics. Nobody has completed a Grand Slam in the history of long-distance skiing, but it might happen in Season XVI.

If you win all four Grand Classics, Marcialonga, Jizerská50, Vasaloppet, and Birkebeinerrennet, in the same season, you complete a Grand Slam.
