RESTPOINTS AND ORGANIZATION OF RACZ25
An integral part of Race Across Czechia became the trio of so-called RestPoints, the aim of which is to break up that long multi-day pilgrimage into shorter sections and provide a kind of "point of reference", but above all to give RACZ ...participants the opportunity to meet with our team, share impressions with their comrades, take a break for a while, reward themselves with good food and also stay here overnight, if necessary.

Already 3 years ago, we got rid of attribute "unsupported" from Race Across CZ - although we are convinced that even our participants would manage to pass our event without RestPoints - and we moved to slightly different path. Our goal is not so much achieving extreme performances, we consider as most important to enjoy our event and our effort is to make the painful journey across Czech Republic more pleasant for you, from time to time. We gradually learn and gather experience with each other edition, and we hope that you will appreciate their presence at RACZ25 as well.

What will be new in terms of organization? Actually, not much...

Just RP1 will be a little later than this year at (205.km), but we still believe that the vast majority of participants will arrive here before closing time. It will be summer, so we will not organize overnight stay on RP1, and to simplify the service here, we will not offer an option of choosing from 3 hot meals - you will have to be OK with one "universal" food and one type of soup.

At RP2 and RP3, food will only be ordered on the spot, but for that it will be possible to treat yourself with an overnight stay or nap, on a soft bed and under the roof.

A positive innovation in RACZ25 organization will be the possibility to take some small refreshments at the RP, in addition to water or isotonic drink, as a part of entry fee... In return, however, we will make the work a little easier for our teammates and will introduce "self-service" between midnight and 6 a.m.

For next year, we have arranged RestPoints in the following three facilities:
205.km - Restaurant Šéba, Rakovník
555.km - Pension U Svatého Jan, Svobodné Dvory
870.km - ATC Šternberk

In addition, we will include again one refreshment station, as was this year on Klínovec. Next year, we would like to have it in the gazebo of amphitheater under Loket Castle, but here we are still waiting for approval.

From the second day, as always, organizational "gifts" and meetings with our team will decrease, and you will be able to merge more closely with nature and enjoy the beautiful solitary life of a bikepacker, without too much disturbance.
