A rich programme for the UP Sports Day 2024 is traditionally prepared by the Academic Sport Centre UP, which will offer indoor and outdoor sports, team tournaments, individual disciplines or sauna. All physical activities within the Sports Day are free of charge for both working and studying at UP. At the end of the day there will be a social afternoon with an accompanying programme, refreshments and a prize draw on the lawn in front of the shipyard.

Fans of hiking can go for a walk from Mariánské Údolí to Svatý Kopeček as part of the UP Sports Day. The route promises a relaxing morning walk near Olomouc with a return to the city so that the participants have enough time to regain their strength for the afternoon and evening programme of the Palacký University Olomouc Student May Festival (Majáles). They will visit, among other things, several monuments to mining activity in Hlubočky, stop for a view of the Haná plains at Wolker's Lookout and, of course, do not miss a visit to the famous pilgrimage site.

Sturdy shoes are recommended and it is good to expect the possibility of mud, a small snack is sufficient. In case of expected persistent rain, the walk will not take place. The walk has been prepared by Martin Višňa from the Communications Office of the UP. If you need anything, you can contact him at martin.visna@upol.cz or moravskyturista@gmail.com.
