About The Race

This year two Cities, Szczyrk and Bielsko are connected again during the race. We serve You four long and technically challenging special stages to race down, with total of 2150 meters of elevation difference (Prostage included). There will be two Gondola up-lifts allowed during the race (for E-bike category only one!), so the liaisons will not be that much tiring. To complete the race you will need around 6 hours, with around 40 kilometers on Your bike (Gondola excluded), so except serious racing there will be nice enduro trip to complete.

And one more thing: during the race there will be a premiere of a trail pugnaciously called “Bestyja”, that we just built in Szczyrk (it will serve as a Prostage). The trail is a mixcure of wild, technical singletrack with jumpy, bike-park stuff and it will be a part of Enduro Trails in Szczyrk Mountain Resort.
