RACZ25 TEAM
Well, we have 5 days left until the start of RACZ25. We showed you The Route, The Riders, merch items and dozen of other stuff, but it is highest time to introduce you one of the most important part of our event - THE TEAM!

Also from this year´s edition we would like to ...make cca 30min movie, (not only) for which we agreed on cooperation with 8 experienced teammates.

We are supehappy and thankful to have this strong and passionated Team and we are sure, all will do they best not just by taking foto/video materials, but also mentally support The Riders ;-D

So, let´s meet with them all ;-)

Greetings from our finish line - amazing Girova refuge, where we checked alternative route up (aa our original route is closed due to risk of fallinf trees after thunderstorm) and left a finishers' merch 👍

The last 18km/610m will be supertough but superbeautiful 👌

RACZ25 MEDALS READY 👌
Probably most valuable item to refresh memories from RACZ25 will be again our wooden medals, which produced for us team of Acer Woodway, ran by 3rd finisher of Moravia Divide 2025 Pavel Juráček.

We agreed with Pavel, that we would like to keep the basic ...design of last year´s medals, but in addition, multiple finishers will be able to gradually complete their collection of medals in the colors of Czech tricolor 🇨🇿

Which color of medal will you grab for, as a finisher, this year? 😉 We really love the blue 💙

And remember - the earlier you will arrive to finish, the bigger medal you can choose ☝️

CAPS ARRIVED!
Also this year, RACZ riders could request cycling caps in our design, with their number, flag and nickname.

Exactly 40 riders did that, and we are happy to announce that caps arrived today and will be waiting for them at the presentation in Cheb, in just 15 days.

We would like to thank again to Sykora sportswear-SKR for quality production and timely delivery.

ŠTĚPÁN STRÁNSKÝ JOINS RACZ25!!!
Hello riders, we are superhappy to announce that yesterday registered on RACZ25 one of the best czech ultracyclists a Štěpán Stránský.

Štepán, alias Wolfman, is a few-days fresh winner of 2100km French Divide, and in his bikepacking CV we ...can find also victories on NAVAD1000, Alps Divide, West Carpathian Challenge, Slovakia Divide, Loudání and several others events.

Štěpán started to interest about RACZ during winter and as he recovers well after FD, and cought to build a special gravel, which he wants to test on our event, he is in!

Štěpán doesn't want to be passed over for this role, but we dare to say that we have a new main favorite of this year´s edition.

Good luck and hope to enjoy ;-)

TUESDAY SOCIAL RIDE
As RACZ25 is slowly approaching, we would like to invite all riders and also his families, RACZ25 team and fans of our event, to the new feauture - 40km/400m relaxing Tuesday's Social Ride, which we organize day before start, on 1st July.

It can be a great ...opportunity to stretch your legs, try out the bike and equipment and get to know the beauties of the westernmost corner of Bohemia for all those who will not go to work on Tuesday and will arrive in Cheb on Monday evening or around lunchtime on Tuesday. This is a new feature of RACZ organization and we are sure you will enjoy it.

The route will lead through picturesque spa town Františkovy Lázně (start of racz24), where there will be a first break for delicious ice cream, then continue along luxurious gravel roads through the spa park and around adjacent ponds, then you will check out Seeberg Castle, have a beer in Lipá and turn back to Cheb along the cycle paths near the German border. At the end of the route, we have also prepared a passage through the historical center of the city, which unfortunately did not make it into the official racz25 route.
