The Krkonošská padesátka, or, in short, Krkonošská 50, is a trail running event held annually in the Krkonoše, the highest mountain range in the Czech Republic, located on the border with Poland.
In the past, three races were available: 50km, 21km and 8km.
In 2026, the event offers only one race distance, the 50km ultramarathon.
Be prepared for a real challenge! The route features 1,784 metres of ascent.
The start/finish line is in the ski resort of Špindlerův Mlýn (German: Spindlermühle) which sits at an elevation of about 700 metres on the banks of the Labe (Elbe), one of Central Europe's major rivers.
The Labe rises from a spring in the mountains above Špindlerův Mlýn, so it's still a small stream in these parts.
