Dolina Potoku Rudno – terrain

The area located on the eastern side of the road is again hilly and mostly runnable. The road network is quite developed. Courses will run through the site of the former mine, therefore the area is rich in contour features (wells, mounds, pits, escarpments, ruins). There will be plenty of rocks and a lot of puzzles to solve during a demanding middle distance. Looking forward seeing you there!

Las Orlej – terrain

The end of April and the beginning of May are associated with intensive field works. The samples of new map are ready – time for a traditional description of terrain.

Las Orlej is a hilly area and most of the map is cutted by deep ravines. The road network is dense. The runability is mostly very good, in some places difficult. Lots of clearings and rootstocks in the forest. There are wetlands as well. An exciting mix is waiting!

We have very good news for you, not that unexpected to some of you! It’s time to present another partner of 38. Wawel Cup edition. We are pleased to announce that after each race the adult runners (18 y.o.+) will get a can of alcohol-free beverage – Lech Free!
