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

336.!

Our website clock indicates exactly 27 days left. We are very happy that we can identify the 336. person much earlier than the 335. last year. This time the free entry goes to Marek Lewandowski from Bydgoszcz.

INCO GROUP

This year’s Wawel Cup will have yet another sponsor – INCO GROUP. The company produces household chemicals, fertilizers and plastic packaging. Wawel Cup 36. is another event that the Group Inco will support financially. See you in less than a month!

Rabsztyn – terrain

We have already presented you parts of the old maps with the initial description of the terrain. Now it’s time for more precise description of its specifics and the parts of new maps (which are still to be tested and controlled).

First we will present you information about first stage, which is all about fast running. Mostly very good visibility and runability. In the north part, participants will run on flat terrain with interesting subtle contour details (depressions, hills, knolls). In the southern part you may expect larger height differences and the end will be led through rocks and surroundings of Rabsztyn castle. It promises to be interesting running and it’s only a warm-up!

Avenue of Stars!

There is only a month and bit left to our competitions and to our great joy the registration list is getting busier so this is time to present you the stars of Wawel Cup 36. This year’s edition will be rich in well-known personages! Their bios will be available on our website, fanpage and special tab!
