← All eventsBohemian Border Bash Race
Long self-supported gravel bikepacking loop around the Czech borderlands, forests and sandstone, ~1,410km. Early-September date and distances/elevation approximate.
A self-supported gravel bikepacking race around the whole rim of Bohemia. Roughly 1,410km, self-navigated by GPX, dot-watched, with no support crews and no prizes. It starts and finishes in Jetřichovice.
From the sandstone rock towns of Bohemian Switzerland it climbs through border ranges: the Ore Mountains, Jizera and Krkonoše foothills, stitched together by forest gravel and quiet lanes.
The real test is solitude. Solo riders face multiple full nights in dark forest, long gaps between village shops, and route-finding that never stops. Self-sufficiency, not power, gets you home.

Patterns like these, drawn straight from 2025 race data, are baked into how Beina coaches you for this event.
Is Bohemian Border Bash Race for you?
- Riders who thrive alone. Multiple nights self-navigating dark Bohemian forest reward people who are steady company for themselves, not just fast.
- Self-sufficient tinkerers. No mechanics, no feed stations, so you fix your own bike and plan resupply around rural Czech shop hours and Sunday closures.
- Diesel engines over sprinters. A week-plus of consecutive big days rewards durability and restraint far more than a high FTP.
- Anyone chasing a genuine expedition. Loaded gravel handling, sleeping rough night after night, and the mental grind are the point, not the enemy.
