Champion Race 2026

CHAMPION.RACE 2026 – The Toughest Obstacle Course Race on Považí
Set for Saturday, August 22, 2026, CHAMPION.RACE returns to the picturesque grounds of Uhliská Estate in Nemšová-Trenčianska Závada. This year marks a special milestone as we celebrate our tenth anniversary with an event that challenges runners like never before.
The race offers two categories for both men and women: Cukrík (approximately 7 km) and Rotvajler (around 14 km). Each category features over thirty obstacles, designed to test your strength, agility, and perseverance. The course winds through the stunning landscapes of Považí, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and rigorous competition.
Competitors can register in age categories ranging from under 39 years old for both men and women, followed by 40-49 and over 50 for each gender. Regardless of your category or distance choice, all participants will receive an exclusive medal, commemorative t-shirt, protein bar, full-service refreshments including food and drinks, as well as a special surprise.
Proceeds from the event, along with voluntary donations, are distributed by the social committee of Nemšová to support those in immediate need—families economically disadvantaged or socially marginalized.
Entry fees must be paid via bank transfer through the provided link; upon registration, you will receive payment details and confirmation codes. Your spot is secured once your fee is processed.
The start waves consist of mixed genders every five minutes with a maximum capacity of 15 runners per wave (no more than ten men or eight women). The race caps at 500 participants to ensure an intimate and challenging experience for all competitors.
Participants are encouraged to arrive early, ideally forty-five minutes before their designated start time, allowing ample preparation in the scenic setting.
