Walking in the hall is alive
- Editor
Last year, the walking public was pleasantly pleased with the return of the adult categories to the program of the indoor MČR, when the adult categories got the opportunity to fight for titles again after many years. The slowly starting racing season thus offers a number of opportunities to fight to meet the performance requirements for the championship race.
Přebor Liberec region - 14.1., Jablonec nad Nisou:
The first race on the indoor calendar will be this Saturday, January 14.1. the Liberec region walking championship, which traditionally takes place in one of the few athletic halls in our country - in Jablonec nad Nisou. Competitors outside the LKAS can also start, the length of the tracks is from 2000m to 5000m depending on age and gender.
Championship of Moravia and Silesia (ČAS race) - 22.1., Ostrava:
A week later, on January 22.1, competitors from Moravia and Silesia will compete for their titles in the beautiful Ostrava hall. Here, too, the race is open to competitors from other regions. The categories of boys, girls, juniors and women will run the classic 3000m, while boys, juniors and men will go 5000m.
Championship of Silesia (POL race) - 27.1., Ostrava:
An interesting competition opportunity will appear in the Ostrava hall one week later - 27.1. The Silesian championship race, this time under the organizing baton of Polish colleagues, applications can be submitted via the ČAS website, the competition routes will be 2000 and 3000m walking. Competitors who arrive at the race will have the opportunity to compete with Polish pedestrians.
Indoor Wednesdays in Jablonec nad Nisou - 25.1., 8.2., 17.2., Jablonec nad Nisou:
Also this year, organizers from TJ Liaz Jablonec are organizing indoor Wednesdays and several of them will host walking races. The race is usually held at the end of the racing program, around 19 p.m. These races are certainly more demanding for working athletes, performing at the highest level in the evening is a challenge, but let's be happy for the opportunity that the organizers repeatedly give us.
25.1. 4th indoor Wednesday - 3000m walk
8.2. 6. indoor Wednesday - 3000 and 5000m walk
15.2. 7th indoor Wednesday - 3000m walk
Czech Walking Championship - 12.2 February, Prague-Stromovka, Otakar Jandery hall:
12.2. will take place, again as part of the multi-sport championship race, the pedestrian championship race in the Olymp Hall in Prague.
Just like last year's race, performance limits must be met this time as well, allowing pedestrians to represent our sport in a dignified way.

However, the indoor season is far from over after the MČR. Competitors in the Masters category will have 2 more opportunities to test their performance.
CR Masters Championship - 4.3., Jablonec nad Nisou:
4.3. the traditional veteran championship will be held, experienced competitors will compete in the Jablonec hall in the 3000m walk.
Masters World Championship - 26.3.-1.4., Toruń, Poland:
In Toruń, Poland, from 26.3. - 1.4: will hold the MS Masters category. The 3000m walking competitions will take place on March 27 and 28.3. The next championship race will be the traditional 10 km on the road on 31.3.
This world championship already clashes with the MČR in the 35km walk in Dudince (March 25.3) and above all with the first round of league competitions. Those who want to compete in the 10km walk may have to choose between their duties to the unit and their personal ambitions. After all, only two 10km races in two or three days will be a huge challenge for the Czech veterans. I recommend a private jet at the expense of whoever directed this schedule.........
