The race is traditionally held every year on the third Sunday of August, in honor of the Slovak National Uprising, one of the most significant events in our history. The main feature of the race is broadcasting from field and transit stations. On the day of the race, many radio amateurs will go with their portable radio stations to the places of SNP battles, to SNP monuments, to bunkers and dugouts in the mountains, where the Slovak army and partisans fought against the occupiers. We go early in the morning, when there is still fog in the valleys, in any weather with a backpack full of batteries, wires and transmitters. At each location of radio operation, a wire antenna is stretched, the equipment is plugged in, and station signs and competition codes fly into the air. Only those whose joints and knees are already creaking, compete from home. However, the speed and difficulty of the race will not pass them by. It is broadcast in two performance categories QRP do 5W a kategória do 100W a to telegraficky alebo SSB fóniou. Spojenia sa nadväzujú medzi českými a slovenskými stanicami, ako aj so Slovákmi a Čechmi ktorí žijú v zahraničí. Účasť na týchto pretekoch z roka na rok rastie.
