About this race
The Tyski Triathlon takes place at the Paprocany Recreation Center in Tychy, with the course utilizing the lake area and adjacent forest paths. The format is a cross duathlon: a 5 km run, a 25 km bike ride on forest tracks, and a concluding 2.5 km run. This is a small local event, limited to 150 participants, organized by MOSiR Tychy under the city president's patronage.
The transition from triathlon to duathlon occurs when the lake is closed due to a cyanobacteria bloom, substituting the swim leg with a run. Relay teams must designate before the start who will complete the initial 5 km run and who will undertake the final 2.5 km run. A children's duathlon is also offered, featuring a 1 km run, a 5 km bike ride, and a final 1 km run. The morning schedule includes bib collection, the race, a post-race meal, results announcement, and awards, contributing to the event's intimate club-race atmosphere instead of a large festival setting.
