At sunset, the Tatras belonged to the runners and their performances. The Night Run BACHLEDKA 2025 brought the village of Ždiar and the surrounding forest trails to life, once again proving that the blend of sport, nature, and emotion can create an unforgettable experience for the whole family. Runners lined up for the 6 km and 12 km courses, while children competed by age category on 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, and 800 m routes. Interest was twice as high as in the first edition — 629 runners registered, and 565 participants ultimately started, including 422 adults and 143 children.
From the very first minutes, the atmosphere was electric: the start area pulsed with music and cheering, while the panorama of the Belianske Tatras provided a unique backdrop. Thanks to thorough course marking, marshals at key points, and good lighting conditions, the event ran safely and smoothly. Runners also praised the refreshment stations.
