Mirów-Bobolice

And the dessert is as usual a handicap start. The run will start next to the castle in Mirów, the finish line will be located in Bobolice. Two castles from XIV century will accompany us throughout this run with the history in the background. The spectator control point will be there along with GPS, radio control and exciting comments from our speaker. At the end, we are planning a technically demanding stage and real sport rivalry.

This time the terrain will be dominated by the well runnable forest with rocks and stones. The last part of the course, that will be led along Grzęda Mirowsko-Bobolicka, maybe the decisive one. We will see!

mappers – Jacek Morawski, Wojciech Dwojak

course planner – Michał Garbacik
