We’re truly excited to reconnect with you and share some big news. It’s time to reveal the mandatory segments for Race through Slovakia 2026. Registration is open for last year’s riders and newsletter subscribers. General registration will open early morning on 14 November 2025.

For the next week, registration is exclusively open to last year’s participants and newsletter subscribers. After that, we’ll open it to the general public.

What’s waiting for you in 2026?

We’ve prepared six mandatory segments once again — taking you through remarkable places, challenging climbs, and stunning nature.

The mandatory route includes 359 km and 7,692 meters of elevation gain.
The race starts with two easier segments — the first crossing the border into Austria, followed by a ride into the Czech Republic for two segments.
The first will begin in Mikulov, and the next will take you to the Dlouhé Stráně pump-storage plant and Praděd, the highest peak in Moravia.
From there, you’ll head into the White Carpathians, continue to the volcanic mountain range Poľana near Zvolen, and finish in the ski resort town of Oščadnica.

Full details can be found in the Mandatory Segments section, along with a video preview of what’s ahead for 2026.
