Šediváčkův long 2008- XII. year of extrem race of sleddogs teams in Orlické hory mountains with trale 222 and 333 km

THE cOOPERATION wITH tHE rEGION

	The Šediváčkův Long race takes place on the Czech side of the mountains in the area of towns Deštné v Orlických horách and Orlické Záhoří that both belong to the state administration district Hradec Králové. The organizers cooperate and keep in touch with the region authorities actively. Every year there comes Mr. Helmut Dohnálek- the first deputy district administrator of the Hradec Králové and Mr.Václav Vojtěch- the headmaster of the local school and the leader of the voluntary mountain rescue service to take part in the ceremonial beginning of the race.
	Another person that cooperates very much with the realization team is Mrs. Ing. Václava Domšová - the lady senator representing the voting region no. 48, whom you can meet actively cheering the mushers on the trail, same as at the closing ceremonial where she gives awards to the winners.
	Last year there started the cooperation with the Polish musher club KSPZ Amarok and with the Polish town Duszniki. The organizers prolonged the trail circuit to the Polish area Czarne bagno, where is the spring of the river Orlice, and further more along the river Bystrzyce and back. Thanks to this cooperation it became possible to co-finance the race from the EU sources in the initiative INTERREG IIIA through the Euroregion Glacensis. Unfortunately the Czech organizers did not fulfil all the administration needs and so the money support went only to the Polish side.
	In March 2005 the management of the race asked for the financial support for the next year organization and necessary needs at the Hradec Králové district office.
