Excalibur Race — Helfštýn

Reports and event feedback

• Daniela Krčová — 2022 Helfštýn SKY ↗

  Daniela Krčová / Ronnie.cz · 2022

  Enjoys the castle setting, varied terrain and clear waymarking. Finds the grip obstacles challenging and the finish rewarding, but dislikes the river and pond crossings and misses a barbed-wire section.

  Published 4 October, explicitly raced 1 October 2022, individual nominal 6 km SKY. Her watch’s 9 km is not a measured correction. Failed obstacles and penalties are explicit, without claiming every obstacle cleared. Her recent illness is personal context, not health advice or a safety finding. Same author as the 2020 report. Published media contributor; entry/travel funding unstated. The full relevant original narrative was read; photographs, videos and unrelated sidebars were not used. No numerical quality score is inferred.

• Daniela Krčová — 2020 Helfštýn team SKY ↗

  Daniela Krčová / Ronnie.cz · 2020

  Likes the forest route, clear marking, varied obstacles and castle finish. Criticizes the low spear target and reports missing fruit and leaves in the finish water late in the day.

  Published 5 October 2020; exact raced day unstated. Explicit nominal 6 km SKY with her partner. The account says the river section was omitted; its environmental-cause explanation is not independently established. Penalties and assisted clearance are explicit. The companion is not another independent report; earlier Vranov experiences and alleged injuries are not transferred to Helfštýn. Published media contributor; entry/travel funding unstated. The full relevant original narrative was read; photographs, videos and unrelated sidebars were not used. No numerical quality score is inferred.

Series

Excalibur Race

• The original venue programme separates Friday MOON and Saturday HELL/SKY adult running OCR from children and dog classes. Adult RACE/OPEN age groups start at eighteen. The structural range covers adult foot-race days; the longer festival range can include Sunday children/dog races.
• The series overview describes approximately 4 km MOON, 6 km SKY and 8–12 km HELL, but event-specific map lengths have not been visually verified. These generic descriptions are not surveyed lengths or a guaranteed obstacle inventory. The timetable is provisional; promotional safety/quality claims are not athlete evidence.
• Historical experiences remain tied to their own edition. A future unchanged course, actual completion of every advertised class and a numerical satisfaction rating remain unverified.
