KolemKolem Fest 2026: What's in store for you – races, kids' program, top food and an evening party
The festival at Lipno is not just about kilometers ridden. There's something here for everyone. Whether you're planning to race, test a new bike or just spend a pleasant weekend with your family. Here is an overview of what KolemKolem Fest 2026 has prepared for you.
Races – fun comes first
The racing program isn't just for the chosen few. It's for anyone who wants to try what it feels like to go all out – without pressure, but with a full dose of adrenaline and good vibes.
Pells Beach Race is an amateur fun race on the beach. Solo or as a team relay – the ones who enjoy it the most win. → More about the race
Kids' races – the Lipenský plážový rychlík is here especially for the youngest racers. Because even the smallest ones deserve their moment of glory on the starting line. → More about the race
Bosch Uphill Challenge is an e-bike challenge that lasts two minutes at most and can change your whole day. You try it in the morning in qualifying, and in the evening the best racers meet in a commentated elimination round – that's the part worth watching. → More about the challenge
Frymburská šlapka – a Sunday classic by now. Frymburk, loads of kids and, above all, fun. PS. this year on a new and even more fun course → More about the race
The festival is for the whole family – and kids will really enjoy it here
This is important: KolemKolem Fest is not just for cyclists chasing kilometers. It's a festival for families. And we mean that seriously.
While dad tests a new bike or heads out on a race, our animators will take care of the kids – all day and with full energy. The kids' zone will run at full blast all 3 days.
The special festival game for the whole family is called “Bike Trip with Lišák Fox” – you collect stamps from all the festival municipalities and put together your own trip around Lipno. An ideal activity for anyone who wants to experience the festival differently than just from the main stage.
On Saturday in Loučovice, the Kids' Driving License takes place – a great thing for every future cyclist.

For those who take it seriously and might even show up with shaved calves
If you're the racing type, or you simply want to spend the weekend fully in the saddle, you'll have plenty of activities here.
Road cyclists and gravel riders will get their fill:
Friday's Road Classics rozjetí is a short ride with a route through Vyšší Brod.
Saturday's Road Classics švih is for all the classics fans and road cyclists. You can do it on a gravel bike too, but it'll probably sting a bit → program here
And Sunday's highlight for everyone – VIF Cycling Team kolem Lipna is a route of about 80 km with an ideal pace and an even better crowd, enriched by top pro women racers from the Czech peloton. → program here.
MTB and e-bike riders can join a guided ride with Robert Gasperotti or Mišo Kolář – bike legends who know the saddle up close and have plenty to pass on.
Top local food and drink spots – because good food belongs at a festival
We try to make the festival truly local – from the bike to the plate. What awaits you?
Molo bistro – you definitely can't go wrong here. Desserts and drinks with a view of the water. What more could you want?
Shots Sparks – great coffee that will get you back in the game, guaranteed
Pivovar Rožmberk – great local beer that's worth swapping for a recovery drink
Kramolínský vůl – a food truck offering local farm products. Cyclists don't always have to eat only dry granola.
Povidloň – homemade ice cream made from the highest-quality ingredients
Evenings at Lipno
We want to make it a nice one. Friday and Saturday evenings belong to music. Always an evening concert, always an afterparty and always enough energy to dance until morning. The stage isn't just for racers – it's for everyone.
Bonuses you shouldn't skip
Horsefeathers exhibition – top freestyle riders will show how to jump on a bike. Make sure you see it with your own eyes, because video can't replace it.
CzechCrunch zone – interviews with interesting personalities run throughout the festival. Cycling, outdoor lifestyle – topics worth listening to, maybe with a chilled beer on a lounger in front of the stage.
The full program and race registration are at kolemkolem.info/fest. Spots are limited. The sooner you register, the better.
We're looking forward to seeing you at Lipno.
The KolemKolem team
