Night Run Bachledka 2026 once again proved that it combines sport with an unparalleled emotional experience

The autumn Tatras came alive with sporting enthusiasm once again at sunset. On Saturday, 10 October, the Night Run BACHLEDKA 2026 event transformed the village of Ždiar and the surrounding forest trails into the setting for an extraordinary running celebration. The combination of movement, magical nighttime nature and a community atmosphere once again confirmed that this format delivers unforgettable experiences for the whole family.

Determined runners took to the starting line on the popular 6 km and 12 km courses, while the youngest participants competed in children’s races over 100 m, 200 m, 400 m and 800 m. Interest in the evening run is high – this year, a total of 551 registered runners, including 395 adults and 156 children, which only confirms that the event has secured a firm place in the running calendar.

From the very first minutes, a fantastic, electrifying energy filled the area around the starting line. The sunset, with the Belianske Tatras forming a backdrop, added to the breathtaking visual experience. Thanks to precise markings, dedicated marshals at key sections and excellent lighting conditions, the entire event ran safely and smoothly. After crossing the finish line, participants praised not only the atmosphere but also the well-stocked refreshment stations.
