Slovakia 2026

Slovakian running splits between Bratislava (ČSOB Bratislava Marathon, Telekom Night Run series in Bratislava, Štrbské Pleso and Donovaly, Fun BILLA Run) and the High and Low Tatras where ultra-trail thrives — Slovak Ultra Trail series, Javornícka stovka, Malofatranská stovka, Kokava Trail. The Slovak Cycling Federation runs a six-discipline calendar (road, MTB, cyclocross, track, BMX, mass-cycling) anchored by Slovenský pohár MTB; L'Étape Slovakia by Tour de France brings WorldTour-flavored road racing to Bratislava each summer. The Carpathian terrain north of Bratislava and through central Slovakia gives serious climbing within minutes of any major city.
