Slovakia is calling: get to know Tatras to Danube relay race

Let’s move today to beautiful Slovakia where Tatras to Danube relay race will take place in the middle of August 2020.

Tatra mountains

Starting Saturday morning of August, 15th, near the Polish border in a place called Jasná which is located in Demänovská valley in Tatra mountains, the race course will bring relay teams on Sunday to the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava. The teams will have to complete a pretty challenging 345-km long distance with impressive total elevation gain of 4000 m. The track consists of 36 laps, each of them has a different difficulty level and length, varying from 7 to 12 km.


Tatras to Danube relay will host runners for the eighth time this year, and it looks like 2020 will bring a new record number of participating teams, with over 230 teams registered so far. By the way, the current record was set in 2018, when 210 teams crossed the finish line in Bratislava.
