Piekło Czantorii 2026

Piekło Czantorii is a trail race series held in mid-November in Ustroń, located in Poland’s Silesia Voivodeship. Runners navigate a forest and mountain environment with race distances ranging from 10 km to 94 km. The shortest 10 km race features 1,159 m of elevation gain, and the 94 km option has 7,900 m of climbing. The 24 km, 47 km, and 71 km races also involve significant elevation gains, marking this as a mountain trail event, not a simple woodland run. The series is included in the UTMB Index races. ITRA rates it at Mountain Level 9 and Finisher Level 350. One specific race, slightly over 48 km, includes 4,095 m of ascent, a 12 hour 30 minute time limit, 3 aid stations, and is capped at 250 participants. The race names reflect local character, with options such as Bestyjka, Bestyja, Pieron, Przepieron, and Lucyfer. One source also refers to the event as “La Terre des Champs.”
