4th Winter Running Series 2016-2017
Vysoké Tatry (Slovakia), November 2016 - February 2017
Set in the imposing Vysoké Tatry (High Tatras) mountain range in Slovakia, the zimná bežecká séria (Winter Running Series) consists of four multi-terrain races. Each race features a different venue and a different route, between 4km and 7km long.
The series is held annually between November and February. At least in January and February you can expect snow or ice on the course.
The first three races take place on the slopes of the mountain range, at elevations between 700 and 1,000 metres. The fourth and final race of the series is held high up in the mountains at the Horský hotel Sliezsky dom, which is situated at 1,670 metres above sea level at the Velické pleso lake — a truly spectacular location!
