70.3 Krakow 2026

IRONMAN 70.3 Kraków is a half-distance triathlon in Kraków, Poland, covering the standard 70.3 miles: swim, bike, and run. The race begins with open-water swimming in Zakrzówek Reservoir, a former quarry area now used as one of the city’s most distinctive water venues. It is operated by Ironman and also carries official PTO World Ranking Points, attracting professional fields as well as age-group athletes aiming for a full 70.3 finish. After the swim, athletes navigate a rolling bike course through the Lesser Poland countryside, meaning the middle section is not just flat city riding. The run returns athletes to Kraków, using the city’s historic streets instead of a closed-off park loop. The professional results indicate fast front-end racing, with men completing the swim in approximately twenty-two minutes and top women in the mid-to-high twenty-minute range, and the listed prize purse provides the sharp end of the field another incentive to compete.
