Duathlon Cross de Żarnowiec 2026

Duathlon Cross de Żarnowiec challenges participants with a run-bike-run course over rugged terrain surrounding Żarnowiec, located in Poland's Jura region. This cross duathlon emphasizes off-road capability rather than flat-road speed. The route incorporates forest paths, undulating farm tracks, gravel sections, and ascents that test leg and lung conditioning before the main season. The course crosses wooded areas and open agricultural trails, passing near the meandering Pilica river. Participants will encounter technical gravel paths instead of smooth asphalt, along with climbs that demand careful pacing. Those who finish earn a medal, and the banks of the Pilica and the meadows of Żarnowiec offer a tranquil setting for recovery post-race.
