Terrain!

The only competitions with such diversified terrain!

In the picture: Olkusz Drift, Olkusz Pits, Jaroszowiec and Błędów Desert!

Olkusz Drift – terrain

The terrain of the second stage will be very technically demanding. The paths and roads network is poorly developed. The visibility and the runnability stretches from very good to difficult. There are half-opened terrains In the large part of the forest. You may expect diverse subtle contour details and slight height differences (apart from northern part of the map, where runners from certain categories will run across drift). A valuable tip from organizers: don’t forget your compass!

Wawel Cup 37.

Dear Runners!

The preparation for this year’s event are on the right track and we would like to share with you the idea for Wawel Cup 37. The competition will takie place between 27th June and 1st July. It will be located near Podlesice (The highest Jura’s rocks!) and nearby Ogrodzieniec castle. We are planning the following: mass start and sprint in rocks. We will do our best to make our event reach yet higher level. Races will be spectacular and technically demanding – can’t wait already!

Event Director – Michał Garbacik
