FINAL WORD

We thank you all for your coming and for setting yourself at the starting line of J70, to participate at, without any doubt, such a very demanding race.

We also thank to all who support us and also to those without their help such a race could not take place at all in such a quality.

Big thanks to all volunteering organizers who you were meeting at the event center, along the tracks, at refreshment points. Without them and without their attitude we would not be able to organize the race.

We also congratulate the winners and also to all who were able to manage the whole course on both tracks ... you’re just great!!

Take a look at Nová Ves today:

NO JESENICKÁ 70 THIS YEAR

Reflecting the current snow conditions, in the lower parts of track especially, we have to cancel the J70 race.
At the Skřítek, Mravencovka, but mainly on the main ridge there is only a small icy crust onto which it is impossible to groom track. Also the stretch Červenohorské Sedlo – Švýcárna, in places where the tracks are not being routinely groomed all winter round, it is impossible to prepare tracks in relevant quality suitable to competing. Neither the weather forecast for the upcoming days is promising sufficient precipitation.
We have also considered some other options of the J70 track. Last year we held the race in an alternative route and this was accepted positively neither by racers (more than half did not come) nor with our partners who provide us support.
All the aforementioned reasons have lead us to a decision to have this year’s J70 cancelled. Our objective is to organize real rivalry race that suits the Jeseníky mountains and not some race in a loop.
For future we will have to consider transferring the race to upper parts of the Jeseníky, or change of dates respectively.
We believe you will understand our decision, as it was really not an easy one.
We shall return the starting fee in full to the account from which you paid. At the same time we will return the finances to all who have ordered the J70 T-shirt, it will eventually not be produced. The commemorative T-shirts will be left for the next, annual 30th volume of the J70.
We will appreciate if you remain in favor with us and we will glad to see you in the Jeseníky 11. 3. 2018.

JESENICKÁ 70 IN SERIOUS DANGER

We checked tracks during weekend again. After Fridays wind gusts the tracks are full of needles, cones and other dirt. Unfortunately there is no new snow and the forecast for the upcoming days says it should get warmer and it may rain in the lower parts. Under current conditions it would not be possible to hold the J70 in its full scope, in the lower parts there is only little snow and thus we would not be able to groom it. Final decision shall be made public on the web site until Friday 3.3.2017.

 
 

 

24^th Februay 2017

WEATHER

Five days of warmer weather has been troubling us and raises concerns. At some important places as Skřítek, Mravencovka, main ridge of the Jeseníky we noticed decreasing amount of snow. There is 14 days left till the event, everything will depend on if, or how much snow we may still get.

 

19^th Februay 2017

SNOW ON TRACK

During weekend we checked J70 track. There is still enough of snow and nothing prohibits from the J70 to be held in is full scope.

Final Word of Thanks

Jesenická 70 showed us a totally different face in comparison to last year. Weather was against us not only due to lack of snow (the place of start/finish had to be moved to the Ovcarna Chalet) but mainly the bad conditions during the race itself. Worse weather is not customary at the Praděd area. So even the J70 was shortened to a 50 Km and 30 km, it was the most demanding run, that was run in the CR this year.

Therefore we would like to thank to all who participated at the alternative route despite the bad weather conditions. We congratulate the winners and also to all who finished both tracks. For climbing up twice to the 1,492 meters high Praded mountain requires great morale, counting the fact, that the visibility was only ca 10 m.

We thank you all for your suggestions you sent whether to the note column or to mail. Appraisals were given especially to all of the voluntary organizers, who you were meeting at the event. center, on the track or at the refreshment points. Without them and their attitude, the race would not be made possible. We thank them all for that.

At the conclusion we may only state that the Jesenická 70 is really not only one of the many races. Even having the race shortened it is still the most demanding race in the world. And we stand for this statement unless somebody from the competitors prove otherwise.

We thank you one more time for having participated, enjoy the rest of the ski season and perhaps we see you again on March 12, 2017 in the Jeseniky at the J70.  

 

 

1^st March 2016

+10 cm

It took only one day and we suddenly have much more optimistic prospects. We have had +10 cm of new snow and the Jeseniky have -4ºC temperatures and it keeps snowing. The forecast promises some additional centimeters. Provided all turns out well we shall set out to prepare the J70 tracks, latest during this weekend. 

 

 

27^th February 2016

J70 - ALTERNATIVE RUTES

We have inspected the J70 track and must say, that under current snow conditions we are unable to hold the race in its full scope. We have two alternative options, under which it would be possible, under current conditions, to hold the race in a shortened form.
One option is on the hillside above Skřítek, direction to Alfrédka, further on to the Kotel with an alternative route down to Mravencovka.
Another option is from the Červenohorské sedlo, taking rounds from Malý Jezerník – under Velký Jezerník – Petrovka, finish on top of Praděd.
Both options have its moot points and organizational obstacles.
Weather will eventually decide. Provided we will have some more snow we will for sure go for one of the options and the J70 will be held. Provided it should rain and the remaining snow shall melt away, then we will have to cancel. If so, we will return starting fee to those who have already paid.

 

24^th February 2016

BIBS ARE READY

and look like as follows:

 

 

22^nd February 2016

WHAT (the heck) IS GOING ON?

Snow disappears before our eyes. rain and above zero temperatures force us to start preparing an alternative track of the J70. We leave the final decision till the very last moment, we will inform duly.

 

14^th February 2016

14 DAYS REMAINING

till the registration deadline for basic starting fee. Those who seriously consider to take part should not hesitate. We notify that the number of possible participants is limited by the capacity of starting bibs.

 

12^th February 2016

30 DAYS

remain to start of the 28th J70 and we come out with the poster, this is how it looks like this year:

Today some snow was falling so now it looks like winter in the mountains again, in the Jeseniky.

INSPECTING TRACKS

With some troubles, but it is still possible to around the Aldrédka and between the Ovčárna and the Červenohorské sedlo.

 

5^th February 2016

SNOW COVER

Respecting the fact the snow cover still diminishes and the long-term weather forecasts, we start to consider alternative J70 route. We will try all possible measures that the race eventually takes place.

 

1^st February 2016

KÖNIG LUDWIG LAUF CANCELLED

With regrets we noted that one of the well-known Worldloppet races, the König Ludwig Lauf, had to be cancelled. In the Jeseníky it does not seem to be same as in Bavaria, Germany. In the night from Sunday to Monday there was some new snow and there is plenty of time till the J70 start to snow some more.

 

 

28^th January 2016

WEATHER

The weather seems not favorable to skiing. The J70 track has got some serious tackle this week. Under current conditions it would not be at all possible to organize the race in full scope. However, we still believe the winter returns and we will be able to enjoy it same as we did last year.

 

25^th January 2016

IT IS RAINING

After the last weekend gorgeous conditions we are having a total weather turnover. It is raining into our tracks :-(

J70 CLOSING UP

The J70 this year was more than a beautiful race. We were blessed by mother nature who granted nice weather. In the week prior to the race it snowed so the old snow was covered with new and clean snow cover. During the race it was calm, sun was shining so we could let competitors on the 70km track climb up to the main ridge of the Jeseniky. The outlooks must have been, for sure, worth the great efforts the competitors had to endure, especially on the 70km track.
At this spot we would like to express our thanks to those who took the opportunity we offered and participated. We congratulate the winners and also those who completed the whole competition on both tracks.
We thank for your praising and hints you have been sending us whethe to the comments or directly to email. Words of praise belong especially to all volunteers you were meeting at event center, on the track, at refreshment points. It would not be possible to make this competition happen without them and their diligent attitude. We thank them for this very much.
At the end we may state that the Jesenicka 70 is really not only one of the many long distance races, but while having such a beautiful weather as we had on Sunday it is still the most difficult race in the world. We shall stand firm behind this statement until any of the competitors is able to proof otherwise.
We thank you all one more time for taking part, enjoy rest of the skiing season and next year, perhaps, let us meet again on March 13, 2016 in the Jeseniky mountains at the J70.

 

12^th March 2015

THANKS

TO ALL, who support the Jesenicka 70, without their support and outgoing attitude it would not be possible to make this event happen in such quality. Thanks belong especially to:

But we shall try so that all info you are expecting would be up as soon as possible.

THE CONDITIONS FOR CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

Currently, the conditions for cross-country skiing are just perfect in the Jeseniky mountains. There is enough snow covering the whole J70 track, which are perfectly groomed.

Eventually it snowed today, even in the lower parts of the Jeseniky. During the day some 30cm of snow fell and the snowgroomers started tracks grooming on other parts of the J70 track. Provided nothing extraordinary occurs, we believe, we may count on the J70 this year.

 

31^st December 2014

PF 2015

We wish you a good waxing and a lot of snow in 2015.

WINTER’S COMING

It seems we’re having winter coming in, eventually. Despite the fact it is only some kind of glaze frost we believe the real winter is the Jeseniky bound.

   

 

25^th November 2014

APPROVAL FROM THE CHKO JESENÍKY (Jeseniky Nature Reserve)

We have acquired an approval from the CHKO Jeseníky to organize the J70. This is the most important document consisting of 11 pages. So hopefully there is nothing to prohibit us from successful organization of the J70 event next year.

 

23^rd October 2014

FIRST SNOW ON PRADED

We have had first snow in the Jeseniky Mountains in this season. This reminds us of the need to get fully into preparations to the 27th volume of the Jesenicka 70. Of course that we have not been idle untill now, the negotiations with the officials of the CHKO Jeseníky (natural reservation) have been going on since this summer.

 

31^st July 2014

COMPETITORS ON THE J70 TRACK

Despite of the J70 cancellation, several competitors appeared on the track on Sunday. Among others there were also our friends from Finland who had also enrolled for the race earlier. We went together through some sections of J70, where it was still possible to ski. Too bad the competition could not take place. We believe that in such sunny weather everybody would have enjoyed the beauty of the Jeseniky mountains. So perhaps next year.

YOUR REACTIONS TO RACE CANCELLATION

We thank you for your responses you keep sending us to our e-mail. You can also place your opinions directly to the „Commences“ box.

You may also check what kind of starting bibs we prepared for you:

 

4^th March 2014

THE J70 WILL NOT BE RUN THIS YEAR

Dear friends of sports,

we are very sorry that you will not have opprotunity to appreciate our great efforts to organize the J70 this year. Unfortunatelly we are forced to cancel this competition. We know that this winter did a lot of trouble to all fans of white tracks. Even 10 days ago we were persuaded we could make the J70 happen. We are sorry even more now that we had to make the decision today and cancel the race. The mother nature was stronger than us and we could not fight it over.

We feel there is great hunger to organize any race where you could take a glide on your skis in a nicely groomed track. We have tried to offer this opportunity to you. Respecting the snow conditions reigning over this winter in the whole country we even had negotiated an alternative option to enable this competition. By making this move we significantly diverged from our J70 creed, which is a demanding profile in the conditions of our beautiful Jeseniky mountains.

The course of weather thwarted even these our plans. Today we inspected the tracks, after having seen reality we must state that even the alternative route does not meet parameters of a decent race and there is no more option on how to make the competition possible. On many locations there is only a tiny icy crust, into which it is not possible to trace the track and on many sections there is no snow at all. You may check the status of several locations on the track by viewing our photos we made today.

We are rather unhappy about disappointing you, the weather disappointed us. But we rather opted for cancellation to a state where you’d be forced to take your skis off and run with them in your hands ... We believe you shall understand our decision, it was not easy at all. We shall return the starting fee in full to your accounts from which you sent it. We will be glad if you stay in favor with us. We will be happy to see you in the Jeseniky mountains next year, on March 8, 2015.

         

         

 

28^th February 2014

WEATHER

The weather seems to be still against us. The forecast that had seemed so optimistic early this week has, by far, shifted into a bit gloomier one. The critical situation with snow continues. The upcoming weekend shall decide whether we are able to maintain snow on the J70 track. Final decision will be made on Tuesday, March 4, 2014.

 

26^th February 2014

PROFILE OF THE 30 KM TRACK

We’d like to publish the 30 km profile. This is the course on which we shall compete on condition there are going to be sufficiently good snow conditions: 

 

25^th February 2014

WEATHER FORECAST

Are you still laughing considering the fact we still keep writing about J70 preparations? Do you follow weather forecast? Indeed it may may not turn out the way we want. Possible. It is also possible that despite all our efforts the J70 will not happen. Nevertheless if you check the forecast as of Feb 25, 2014, this one is pretty optimistic and it would be a shame not to use the opportunity to try to make the J70 possible.

Yes, weather forecast may not, but also may be accurate.

 

21^st February 2014

MAP OF THE J70 ALTERNATIVE TRACK

The map of the alternative track is HERE. We are currently working with three optional distances – 50/25 km, 60/30 km and ca 63-65/33-35 km. Final version depends on current snow conditions. We will decide in the last week before the race. We will keep you continually posted on the overall organization of start-finnish, event center etc.

 

19^th February 2014

ALTERNATIVE J70 TRAK

Today, we have agreed with the management of the CHKO Jeseníky (Natural Reserve), Lesy ČR (Czech Forestry) and the municipality of Malá Morávka on the alternative track of the J70. We thank all affected parties for their helpful attitude that resulted that the Jesenicka 70 will eventually be made possible.

The only place where it is possible to ski in the Jeseniky mtns is in the stretch marked by these tourist marks (locations) the „Pod Ztracenými kameny“ – „Alfrédka“ – „Malý kotel“ – the route to the path heading to the „Velký kotel“.

On condition the snow lasts, the J70 shall be held within this stretch. The track is probably going to be a bit shorter, it shall not be, for sure, so demanding as the regular J70, but it will take place.

 

17^th February 2014

WEATHER AGAINST US

The snow conditions are ratrher poor here in the Jeseniky mountains, as well as in the whole country. Moreover, the 10 day forecast does not promise any new snow. With the probability closing almost to 100% shall not be held on the original track Skřítek – Červenohorske sedlo and back. We negotiate with parties involved on an alternative track.

We shall notify in time. Current pics from the J70 starting meadow at Skřítek:

A MONTH UNTIL J70 STARTS

The situation has not yet improved up in the mountains in the Czech Republic. There is only little snow and the outlook is not the best one. Considering the weather conditions we start solving alternative options for J70. We will do our utmost so that the race takes place.

J70, SKI CLASSIC MARATHON

Because of the fact we have some number of foreign participants on the J70 starting roll, we have slightly modified our competition logo. The change was made so that all understand (in the world) what it is about.

We believe everyone will understand the subtitle.

 

18^th January 2014

WINTER IS STILL SUMMER SLEEPING

But do not be worried, our mother nature isn't silly. There is still enough time till the J70's start and, except for some locations, there is still snow lying on the J70 track. Despite other races in the Czech Republic are being canceled or postponed, our J70 will be prepared as planned.

 

10^th January 2014

TRACKS GROOMING AT THE PRADĚD AREA

Recently we have been asked about the status of tracks and its grooming among the Praděd (Praded TV Tower), Kurzovní chata (Kurzovni Cottage), Ovčárna (Ovcarna Cottage), Švýcárna (Svycarna Challet). We have to note we are only organizing the J70 as an event which leads through these areas. However, we are unable to influence the quality or frequency of tracks being groomed there. We know that weather in this winter season is rather tricky and the Praděd area is one of the last in the whole CR, where there are sufficient natural snow conditions (also according to the Natural Reserve Jeseníky regulations) allowing your tracks prepare and groom on daily basis. We are sorry that this fact is at no avail of those who are responsible for such grooming service. There is nothing left but to be turning with your quests to the responsible persons there, respectivelly to the Moravskoslezsky Region, the office that provides financial support for tracks grooming.

 

3^rd January 2014

WINTER 2014

We have entered 2014 with temperatures of up to +10°C in the whole Czech Republic, thus snow stays only above 1,000 m.a.s.l.. It is possible to ski on the J70 track in vicinity of the Alfédka (Alfredka Lodge) and at the Praděd area. However, the quality of snow corresponds with the temperatures and ski waxing is rather difficult.

 

24^th December 2013

PF 2014

May your Christmas Holidays be joyful, filled with peace and happiness. In 2014 we wish that all tracks ahead of you be only well groomed.

 

30^th November 2013

100 DAYS TILL J70 STARTS

There are last 100 days for training left. You all are for sure impatiently waiting for a big snowfall. The Jeseníky mountains are covered with some 30 cm of snow now and it is possible to ski there.
We wish you many happy kilometers.

 

9^th November 2013

PREPARATIONS FOR THE 26^th J70 STARTED

Besides activities performed on our J70 web pages we have also been active in proceedings regarding aquiring formal approval of the competition. We have been dealing with the „CHKO Jeseníky“ Office (Protected Region of the Jeseniky Mountains) on conditions under which we may organize the competition. We shall try to negotiate several changes about which you shall be informed later.

 

22^nd October 2013

HISTORY OF J70 - PHOTOS

All historical photos we were able to acquire can be seen in the historical gallery. In case you have any information regarding some of the photos – persons in the picture, perhaps year in which the picture was taken – please let us have your comment, we will post it up.

 

10^th October 2013

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS

In the "Race History" section we complemented all documents about J70, that we were able to obtain so far. On condition some of you possess any results prior to 1980 or any material regarding J70, we shall be gratefull if you could let us borrow it for a brief.

 

24^th September 2013

FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS

It may seem unbelievable but it is true indeed. At J70 starting line we will have at least six athletes from Finland. It is going to be for sure interesting competition for the local field and a possibility to compare their performance with them Scandinavians.

TAK TO MÁME VŠICHNI ZA SEBOU

Sedíte doma v papučích, koukáte na výsledky a říkáte si, co ti pořadatelé dělají? Výsledky ani fotky na webu ještě nemají :-(
No, podařilo se nám uklidit centrum závodů a jsme unavení tak jako vy po těch 70 km :-)
Ale budeme se snažit, aby všechny informace, které od nás očekáváte, byly na stránkách co nejdříve. Pište nám do připomínek vše, co vás napadne a nám to jistě pomůže k tomu, aby příští ročník, pokud se letošní setká s kladnou odezvou, byl zase o něco dál...
Děkujeme vám všem, že jste nám pomohli uvést v realitu nejen náš sen! Ale, že se nám všem díky dnešní akci podařilo skutečně položit reálný základ novodobé tradici JESENICKÉ 70!

KLASICKÝ STYL

Závod se jede klasickou technikou. Běží se v připravené stopě s využitím techniky střídavého běhu a jízdy soupaž. Kromě těchto prvků je povoleno odšlapování (odraz jednou lyží) v zatáčce, odšlapování při přejíždění ze stopy do stopy a tzv. stromeček (lyže do „V“ při překonávání prudkého stoupání), při kterém ale nesmí docházet ke skluzu. Tento styl se nazývá klasický nebo také severský. Nedodržení může vést k diskvalifikaci. Bruslení je zakázáno.

POČASÍ

Velká neznámá a současně rozhodující faktor úspěchu či neúspěchu J70. Bohužel ho neumíme ovlivnit. Tak jen doufáme, že nám příroda bude nakloněna a na Jeseníkách to nebude vypadat jako dnes, kdy by se závod na 70 km díky silnému větru nemohl uskutečnit na plánované trati. V takovém případě máme nachystánu náhradní variantu, o které vás budeme včas informovat.

TRAŤ 40 KM S MEZINÁRODNÍ ÚČASTÍ

Další novinka na J70? Nevíme, zda v minulosti startovali na J70 závodníci ze zahraničí. Víme však, že se letos závodu na 40 km účastní závodník původem z Keni!

JE J70 NEJTĚŽŠÍ?

Několik účastníků běžeckých závodů, kteří v minulosti absolvovali jak J70, tak i třeba J50, K70 a další lyžařské "maratony" (včetně těch zahraničních, které jsou v sérii Worldloppet), nám sdělili svůj názor, že JESENICKÁ 70 byla v minulosti vůbec nejtěžším závodem v běžeckém lyžování. Co si o tom myslíte vy? Napište nám svůj názor do připomínek.

ZIMA 2013

Už více než před týdnem konečně začala pořádná zima i v Jeseníkách. Stopy pro běžecké lyžování jsou upraveny i na části trati J70. Můžete toho využít k tréninku zejména v úseku start - Alfrédka - Mravencovka a zpět, dále pak v úseku Ovčárna - Červenohorské sedlo. Úsek Alfrédka - Ovčárna bude upraven až na závod.
