ŻTC BIKE RACE
ŻTC Bike Race is a Polish amateur road cycling series run by Żyrardowskie Towarzystwo Cyklistów, with racing split across FIT RACE and SUPER PRESTIGE classifications. The season opens in Grójec, where the event base sits by Hala Spartakus on Sportowa Street and the start list can reach about 250 riders. FIT RACE is open to anyone, so the field is not just licensed racers chasing results; it also gives local amateurs and riders from the wider region a place in the peloton. The Grójec course is an 18 km loop on technical roads beside the S7 expressway, running through Skurów toward Józefów. Riders complete different distances by category, from 2 laps up to 7, which makes the same circuit work for several age and ability groups. The loop is built for fast peloton riding, with technical vehicles at the front, police controlling traffic on closed sections, and volunteer firefighters helping along the route. The wider series includes eight elimination races and ends with a final in Żyrardów, plus overall prizes that include a week-long apartment stay for selected classification winners.
