Summary/Abstract: Tourist race, organized by the Club of Czech Tourists, is annually attended by several hundred children and adults. Although it is based on cross-country running, a significant role is played by other competitive tasks, such as recognizing of shrubs and trees, recognizing of tourist signs, topographical signs, cultural-cognitive activity, work with a map and compass or outdoors estimating of distance. The temper of racing is very strongly motivating to cope with these tasks. The paper discusses the success of competitors in children’s categories in solving chosen biological and geographical tasks in Czech Cup of Tourist race in the years 2008-2016. Decreasing level of knowledge and skills of pupils is observed also in their leisure time activities.
