Gladiator Race Taxis closes the season on the Pardubice racecourse — the home of the Velká pardubická steeplechase, and the only OCR venue in Europe that lets you run the same ground as one of the toughest horse races in the world. The course mixes the racecourse's own natural obstacles with the series' built ones.
The ORIGINAL course (6+ km, 30+ obstacles) and the KIDS races run on Saturday 5 December, with 2,000 places across all categories. This is a December race in eastern Bohemia: expect near-freezing water and bring a full change of clothes plus something warm for the finish area.
