Spectator races – experience it all on Czech O-Tour

15. 2. 2026

The Orienteering World Cup would be nothing without the electrifying atmosphere created by fans from all over the world. Cheering for your favourite athletes is fun but why stay at the sidelines? Join the spectacle and race yourself in the spectator races on Czech O-Tour.

Everything has been prepared so you can enjoy the World Cup races to the fullest and experience first class Czech terrains yourself. The forests around the Martínkov arena provide a complex mix of various terrain types, prominent and subtle features, and present a perfectly balanced level of runnability and physical difficulty. A spectator race is taking place on each racing day, starting with a sprint prolog on the day of the qualifications in the UNESCO listed town of Český Krumnlov. In the following days, forest races are prepared for spectators, all organised from the same arena as the World Cup. That means less logistics and more racing and fun.

Significant overlap of the World Cup terrains and the Czech O-Tour terrains guarantees a fully immersive experience for everyone. All this combined with other attractions and activities available in the region of South Bohemia, near the majestic Lipno reservoir.

The full experience is ready – prepare for your Czech summer of 2026.
