The start of RTSK SPRINT is getting closer, so we’re sending you what we hope is all the important information you’ll need for Friday evening, Saturday morning’s start, and communication during the race.

On Friday, September 11, we’ll be waiting for you at the bar at Kino Úsmev in Košice from 17:00 until at least 20:00.

You can stop by for a refreshing drink, pick up your RTSK SPRINT cycling cap, made possible with the support of research agency 2muse, and collect a voucher for dinner at Dokelu.

If you can’t make it to Kino Úsmev on Friday, your cap will also be waiting for you on Saturday morning from 6:00 at BØLGE. This is also where RTSK SPRINT will start at 7:00. And of course, there will be coffee from Goriffee and some light refreshments waiting for you before the start.

Fuel up at Dokelu
On the evening before the race, you can grab dinner at Dokelu. This support comes from Lukáš Hraňo, one of the Race Through Slovakia participants, who wanted to support the riders of RTSK SPRINT and help everyone fuel up before the race.

So when you stop by Kino Úsmev on Friday to pick up your cap, don’t forget to collect your dinner voucher for Dokelu as well. The restaurant is located in OD Urban, right next to Kino Úsmev, on the second floor in the food court.

Dokelu is a modern bistro focused on fresh salads, bowls, poké and other dishes. You can choose one of their ready-made combinations or build your own meal according to your preferences.

Join the WhatsApp community
We kindly ask all participants to join the Back on Track WhatsApp community before the race.

Inside the community, you’ll find the RTSK SPRINT channel, where we’ll share all important organisational information. During the race, we’ll also use it to announce additional checkpoints, so we recommend keeping an eye on the RTSK SPRINT and Announcement channels in particular.
You’re welcome to join the other chats in the community as well, but you don’t have to. If you’d rather avoid too many notifications, feel free to mute them.

Transporting your belongings to the finish
We will most likely be able to transport your belongings from Košice to the finish. However, we’ll only have a passenger car with limited space available.
If you’d like to use this option, please pack as lightly as possible — ideally just the essentials, such as a T-shirt, trousers and a pair of shoes.

If you decide not to come
You’ll make us a little sad, but we understand that sometimes life gets in the way and things happen that are beyond our control. We’d just really appreciate it if you could let us know.

We’re looking forward to seeing you in Košice.

Your Race Through Slovakia team
