I have another question.

Write to us at info(@)behejbrno.com.

3/20/2023You have surely noticed that the construction of the multipurpose hall continues. Thanks to the understanding of Firesta, IMOS and also BVV, we obtained permission to run along the road to Hall Z. On the date of the race, however, a larger part of Bauerova Street will be under construction. The alternative part of the route through the exhibition centre will certainly not be boring for you. You can also look forward to places that you do not have a chance to explore during normal operation.
