# #47 Adventure Race: extreme racing on foot, by bike and by raft – Tereza Rudolfová

Authors: David Czempka

Date: 2026-01-02

A multi-day Adventure Race: bike, run and raft, sleep deprivation and teamwork. Terka Rudolfová on preparation, navigation, crises, Canada and the winning B7.

Multi-day races, hundreds of kilometers by bike, on foot, and on the water, with mind and body pushed to their limits and running on sleep deprivation. Madness to some, pure joy of movement and a source of the very best experiences to others. That's exactly what extreme Adventure Races are. Terka Rudolfová – a multisport athlete and a racer through and through – accepted our invitation to the new episode of the Život na treku podcast.

From ski mountaineering through triathlon and ultramarathons all the way to team Adventure Races, where biking, hiking, and running alternate with paddling, map work, and other outdoor disciplines.

With Terka, we talked about what an Adventure Race actually is and what the path looks like from the first races all the way to qualifying for the World Championship. You'll learn how demanding the logistics and preparation are, and why map navigation and teamwork are just as important as fitness. We also look at what goes on in your head when fatigue piles up, a crisis hits, and you still have to keep going. And there are stories from her latest race in Canada, plus a chat about the Beskydská sedmička – including what it's like to win it.

Listen 🎧 to this adventure-packed episode with Terka and step into the world of extreme Adventure Races.
