Stage 2 and 3: Rocky, rugged and hilly terrain, with rock towns, and steep slopes with stones. Technically and physically challenging.

Interval starts in all stages. The start list will be extended over a longer period to make sure that more people than currently allowed will never meet in one place. Starts of all stages will be reachable exclusively on foot – up to 2.5 km from the event center. In addition, there is considerable climbing (over 100m!) on the way to Stage 2 and 3.

The valid Rules and the Racing Rules of ČSOS are to be implemented.
