Cross Triathlon Szczytno

Cross Triathlon Szczytno begins and ends by the pier near the Teutonic castle ruins, with the race centered around Lake Duże Domowe in Szczytno. This off-road triathlon in Mazury offers Cross Super Sprint, Cross Sprint, and Cross Standard distances, alongside a Family Duathlon for children racing with their parents. The swim typically takes place in the clear waters of Lake Domowe Duże, but the remainder of the event deviates from smooth-road triathlon: surfaces include asphalt, cobblestones, and forest paths. This event is for those who appreciate dust, roots, lake air, and the scent of the Mazury forest. Road bikes are not suitable, as the bike course requires mountain bike tires and precise handling for uneven terrain. The cycling and running segments traverse forest areas surrounding Szczytno, a town frequently referred to as the Gate to Mazury. The castle ruins near the start and finish serve as a fixed point for spectators and link the venue to the Teutonic history associated with Henryk Sienkiewicz's The Teutonic Knights.
