Registrer for NIGHT RUN HERE!

Following the success of the previous editions, the unique running event Night Run Bachledka returns to the heart of the Belianske Tatras on 10 October 2026. Whether you are a passionate runner, a beginner, or looking for an exceptional experience for the whole family, this event brings together sport, nature, and the magical beauty of the Tatras at sunset.

Choose your route

Runners can choose from two scenic natural courses – 6 km and 12 km – leading through the stunning scenery of Bachledova Valley and the village of Ždiar. Running beneath the Tatra peaks with views of the evening sky is an experience you simply cannot miss.

There will also be children’s categories for ages 2 to 15, where the youngest athletes will have their chance to shine.

New: Team Relay 4 x 3 km

A brand new feature of this year’s edition is the exciting 4 x 3 km team relay! Put together your dream team – groups can be mixed in any way, regardless of age or gender. The rules are simple: runners pass the relay baton in the designated handover zone and work together to fight for the podium. The 3 fastest teams will be recognized and awarded. You can leave your logistics worries behind; the transport of runners to and from the handover points will be conveniently provided by our shuttle service directly from the resort. Gather your crew, test your strength, and experience the unforgettable night atmosphere together!

ATTENTION! A minimum of 5 participating teams is required for the relay race to take place. If this condition is not met, we guarantee a refund of the entry fee or a transfer of your registration to the shorter route (i.e., 6 km).

Compete for great prizes

Also in 2026, competitors will race in 26 categories, and the overall winners in the 6 km and 12 km races will share prize money worth €1,000.

In addition to cash prizes, a special challenge awaits all runners. A 200-meter timed section will be set up on Antošovský vrch. The fastest male or female runner on this section will win an exclusive prize – a weekend rental of the RENAULT 5 E-TECH electric car directly from our partner RENAULT.
