Short teaser of competitions terrains to have something to look forward on. Both competition and training terrains are in the reach of public transport, so there is no need to have a car at all. Just take the train, bus or airplane to get to Brno and then use our public transport!

Central european forest with deep valleys, various runnability and partially with small and tricky vegetation details. It will be fast, but not simple. Maps skills and endurance will be the decisive factor.
