The first edition of the Extrem5hills ultra-trail running race took place in 2022. The shape of the running route was not as new as it might seem. Many years ago, this route had already been ridden on bicycles by members of the Habartov - Haberspirk velocipede club.
Their ingenious idea to climb the western tip of the Czech Republic along the peaks of Egerland was conceived after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Looking at old military and tourist maps, planning and above all the great enthusiasm of the cyclists bore fruit in the form of a route through the beauty of Egerland. The original route was many kilometres longer than the current form of this extreme cross-country race, but the basics have been preserved and you won't miss the magnificent panoramas from the five peaks of the Egerland.
We hope that you will enjoy this race and that it will be indelibly etched in your memory thanks to the extraordinary experience.
