Bike Maraton Duszniki-Zdrój 2027

Bike Maraton Duszniki-Zdrój is an MTB race held in and around Duszniki-Zdrój and Zieleniec in Lower Silesia. The start and finish are located at the main parking lot of Zieleniec Ski Arena. This event is part of Bike Maraton, Poland's largest MTB marathon series. This particular stop is considered one of the more challenging mountain courses in the series. Participants can select routes ranging from 16 km to 76 km. The primary route options include a 16 km route with 480 m of climbing and a 'giga' route of 76 km with 2,030 m of climbing. The course departs the spa town and ascends into the Bystrzyckie and Orlickie Mountains. Consequently, even the shorter route on the Zieleniec side is not a flat asphalt ride. The race also honors the Artur Filipiak memorial. Zieleniec holds significance for the event as its origin point and the current gathering place for riders. The day follows a typical MTB schedule: entry checks, bib pickup, chip timing, helmet requirements, bike inspections, and many participants seeking challenging terrain without committing to an ultra-distance event. Younger participants are also catered for, including those on balance bikes, with medals and diplomas awarded at the finish.
