PSG Otrokovicka stovka: 111km Through the Chriby, Measured

The PSG Otrokovicka stovka is an ITRA/UTMB-affiliated trail ultra based in Otrokovice, Zlin Region, Czech Republic, covering the Chriby massif and Buchlovske hory hills. The primary distance is 110.66km (labeled 100 KM on the official site), starting at midnight; the concurrent 51.84km 50 KM starts Saturday morning. The 110.66km gains 4,568m D+ across approximately 20 individual climbs in predominantly beech forest, passing Buchlov castle, a former Celtic oppidum, and Chriby ridgeline lookout towers. In 2026, both distances sold out in only the third edition. Race director is Jan Cervinka (SKAJ team); co-organized with founders of the Prague Stovka and Hostynskaosma events.

More demanding than the modest elevation profile suggests, and particularly challenging at night. The course carries 4,568m D+ over 110.66km (41.3 m/km) with a 10.97% distance-weighted average uphill gradient (MID tier) across approximately 20 climbs -- steeper than many 110km European forest races. Only 24.7% of the course is flat. The inaugural 2024 edition saw a ~23% DNF rate from 194 starters. The midnight start adds navigation and temperature demands to the sustained gradient profile. Climb 3 (km 61.14, 13.84% avg) is the most sustained technical ascent; Descent 3 (km 87.69, -12.0% avg) is the most technically demanding descent, both arriving mid-to-late in the race on accumulated fatigue.

The event is officially affiliated with both ITRA and UTMB. The specific ITRA point value and Mountain Level for the 110.66km distance are not confirmed in the DTR database at time of research -- verify current qualification details and point values at itra.run before registering. The 51.84km sibling carries 2 ITRA points at Mountain Level 4, Finisher Level 190 for reference.

Yes -- both distances sold out for the 2026 edition in only the third year of the race. Entry for the 110.66km costs 1,600 CZK (approximately EUR 63 / EUR 0.59/km -- medium confidence; verify current pricing at oe100.cz or skajteam.cz). Registration is via cdp.evizi.cz; watch for 2027 registration opening and act early. Places may also open after unpaid cancellations clear in the lead-up to race day.

Brno-Tuřany Airport (BRQ) is approximately 53 minutes from Otrokovice -- the closest option for international runners. Vienna International Airport (VIE) and Prague Vaclav Havel Airport (PRG) are also viable at approximately 2 and 2.5 hours respectively. Otrokovice has excellent rail connections from both Brno and Prague via the Zlin regional network -- unusually convenient for a Czech trail race. Accommodation is available in Zlin (10 minutes) and Otrokovice itself; Brno is a viable base for those arriving by air.
