Welcome to CEYOC 2020!

Enthusiasm, unforgettable experience, motivation. These were my feelings about the first international race I participated in. However, it was also stage fright, pressure, tension and fear not to spoil it. And my only result was many mistakes in the race :-).

This is why the CEYOC has been introduced. To give young athletes a feeling of important competition before their real top event – EYOC. To get used to the procedures of big event. To motivate them to improve themselves. To avoid mistakes made under pressure.

We are ready to prepare CEYOC in order to fulfil all these goals. Look at the programme to know what you can look forward to.

Adam Chromý, former elite runner and organizer of EYOC 2020

Saving the environment

No cars needed. Use public transport.

This year CEYOC is unique for easy reach-ability by public transport everywhere. You can leave your cars at home and save the nature. You will not need them in Brno at all. The event centre, all the arenas and also all the trainings are easily reachable by public transport, which is well developed in Brno.

No paper. No PDF.

Days of printed tones of papers are gone. We are saving nature, so all the Bulletins will be distributed in the electronic version only. If you still prefer printed version, you can do it by yourself easily: website is optimised for printing. But is it really necessary?

We are moving even further, since we are saving also your mobile data :-) Instead of downloading large PDFs, browse this tiny webpage. Well, it is not so nice as Bulletins full of nice graphics, but the saving of mobile data is significant.

Organising Committee

We are looking forward to see you in Brno!
