There are 3 speed tests (ST) and one mountain premium (MP) within BW race.
ST number 1 - Start of the main race is also the start of the 1st 3 km long ST, the dog must walk the first 100 metres in boots.
ST number 2 - There is a refreshment station after 55 km of the race, which is open 24 hours a day. After refreshment, short rest or bivak the next 3 km is the second ST.
ST number 3 - Prolog will be replaced by a different race - an Epilog. At the very end of the race you will be allowed to take off your backpack for the last 3 kilometres = ST number 3.
First 20 participants will be awarded points - winner gets 20 points, second gets 19 and so on… The winner also receives an orange jersey for the Most active dogtrekker of BW (in male and female category).
Mountain premium
Roughly after 90% of the race the competitors get to a peak of the competition. At the point of the steepest slope there is the MP. Who manages the best time when climbing up receives a jersey for the Best climber of BW. There are no categories for MP.
This year the track does not reach Sněžka, but if the proposed track gets authorized the altitude difference will satisfy your deepest wishes.
Most of the track runs through the Krkonoše national park and it is necessary to strictly follow all visitor rules.
Veterinary conditions
Dogs must be healthy and have a valid vaccination (at least 3 days old) in their vaccination certificate. Will be checked on the day of start.
Race characteristics
It is an extreme endurance sport, which involves a man and his dog completing a given track in certain time limit. In the DT and DM categories the race is established as an Open dogtrekking championship of the czech national breeds of the Czech Republic. However, it is opened for all the other breeds as well.
Through this relatively new sport we would like to introduce czech national breeds to the world outside the exhibitions environment.
The dog must be linked to its owner during the whole race by a lead or special harness. Participants can only rely on themselves and participate at their own risk.
The race takes place within the official rules of dogtrekking - you can find the full regulations list at the start or on http://dogtrekking.info
