BOHEMIAN BORDER BASH RACE
circumnavigating the ancient borders of Bohemia
SEPTEMBER 5, 2026
The Bohemian Border Bash Race is a serious unsupported, single-stage ultra-endurance on & off-road cycling adventure. Although it takes place in the heart of Europe, it should not be underestimated as it requires not only the ability to cycle for extended periods of time but also knowledge and experience of being self-reliant in a mountain environment.
BBBR is an adventure where you can compete, but remember, within this journey lies the beauty of simply relishing the path you tread, embracing the moments, and finding joy in the experience itself. So, compete fiercely, yet savor every step, for in this adventure, the thrill is not just in the race but in the magnificent journey itself.
The start is at sunrise on Saturday, 5.9.2025.
The cut-off time is Saturday, 12.9. at sunset.
The Bohemian Border Bash Race is a fixed-route, unsupported, single-stage ultra-endurance cycling challenge that pushes riders to their limits both on and off the road. Starting and finishing in the breathtaking Bohemian–Saxon Switzerland National Park, the course traces the ancient borderlands of Bohemia, following remnants of centuries-old road networks that still cut through the landscape today.
Racers embark on an approximately 1,400 km journey that circumnavigates Bohemia, weaving back and forth across national borders and riding through Germany, Austria, Poland, and the Czech Republic. With more than 24,000 meters of elevation gain, the route demands exceptional endurance, skill, and resilience.
What awaits is more than a race—it’s a true adventure. The Bohemian Border Bash Race stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s great ultra-endurance events, yet it unfolds right in the heart of Europe, offering an experience as culturally rich as it is physically demanding.
