Ledzinski Cross Triathlon

At the Zalew on Lędzińska Street in Lędziny, the Lędziński Cross Triathlon transitions athletes from open-water swimming into mountain bike riding and trail running, bypassing traditional road racing. This 19 km cross triathlon takes place in Poland's Silesian Voivodeship, typically in July. It features men's and women's categories, with age-group results for competitors aged 16 to 99. The event is organized by Emjot Tri Team, with UKS Orka Lędziny noted as a past co-organizer. The course is designed for those who prefer roots, forest paths, and off-road terrain over flat asphalt. Organizers supply a route map and GPX file, though the public listing does not specify individual swim, bike, and run distances. Relay teams may also compete, covering the same distance. Following the race, participants can utilize the outdoor swimming pool at the Zalew, weather permitting. Nearby Klimont Mountain offers a short walk with views of Silesia and the Ziemowit mine.
