WHEN ATHLETICS MEETS PEOPLE

Since 2016, JBL Jump Fest has brought athletics to the very hearth of the city of Košice, and placed it right at the foot of the St. Elisabeth Cathedral, so you can touch it.

Us being part of the World Athletics Continental Tour allows participating athletes to qualify for the Olympics, World Championship and other championships. In 2025, we will be included in the prestigious World Athletics Continental Tour Silver series for the first time, which is the highest possible ranking for a street meeting.
