Krátký den is an orienteering relay race. The idea is based on 10mila & Jukola.
We are following up on last year's successful edition of Krátký den, this year without covid hopefully. We are adding a new piece of map from verified mapmaker Zdenek Rajnošek. Thanks to last year's experience and your feedback, we’re going to improve competition center and courses. You can look forward to more control points and new experiences from the forest.
Warm facilities with showers, food and traditional homemade cakes awaits you at sports center Želva.
There is a prize money for the winners.
Put on your team colors, prepare your headlamp and fight for your club until nightfall.

It is a typical relay concept. There are seven legs.
The 2nd, 3rd and the last leg (7th) must be run by women. The 1st and 3rd leg is technically easier (level of H/D18). We recommend you to engage youth. Masters are welcome too. Last three legs will be run during the night. Depending on the weather and your speed, we recommend having a headlamp prepared also for the 4th leg.
Course lengths – adults:
| Leg | Class | Length (minutes) | Expected change-over time | When | Length (km) | Elevation (m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | H | 35 | 13:35 | day | 6,1 | 35 |
| 2 | D | 55 | 14:30 | day | 8,2 | 55 |
| 3 | D | 30 | 15:00 | day | 4,5 | 30 |

| 6 | H | 45 | 17:50 | night | 7,9 | 45 |
| 7 | D | 40 | 18:30 | nigth | 6 | 40 |
Youth:
Relay team consist of five legs.
There is a possibility to send two athletes on same leg (2nd, 3rd and 4th). The faster runner of this pair hands over to the next runner in the team. If the faster runner miss punches, the time of the slower runner of the pair is being counted in the overall relay team result (the overall relay time will be calculated after the race). In the unlikely situation of both runners miss punching, the team is disqualified.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | D16 | 25 | 12:55 | day | 3,3 | 25 |

Don’t worry. The race director has approved that there can be up to two runners from another club hosting in one relay team.

Competition area:
Punching:
The SPORTident punching and timing system will be used. Touch free mode (Air+) will be activated additionally to classic SPORTident punching. The SIAC card needs to be within 50 cm of the unit for it to be registered. Last leg runner has to punch the finish unit manually (=the SI card must be placed into the finish unit).
In the unlikely situation of SIAC failing to register in touch free mode, the competitor must punch manually by placing the SIAC chip into the SPORTident unit. In the unlikely situation of an SI unit failing to respond with direct punch (neither a feedback sound nor a light signal), the competitor must punch manually on the map using the pin-punch on the control stand.
If you’ll have to pin-punched any controls on your map, you must hand your map to the finish director at the finish area and report which control was pin-punched.
The same SPORTident can not be used twice during one race.
