Course notes

Course through the Podhale region at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. Rolling terrain across the highland plateau with views of the Tatra peaks. The Podhale is Poland's distinctive highland region — open meadows, spruce forest, and traditional wooden villages. More varied terrain than lowland Polish courses.

Pacing and fueling

Distance is only a proxy for duration. Choose the outline that matches your event, then adjust it to your tested pace, conditions, and organizer support.

Middle-distance effort

30km

Pacing

Hold a controlled opening pace, keep technique efficient through the middle, and commit after the last major course feature.

Fueling outline

Plan intake around your expected duration. Start with familiar fuel and map any organizer feed stations before race day.

Short effort

15km

Pacing

Protect the opening minutes from an over-fast start, then build toward race effort once technique is settled.

Fueling outline

Arrive fed and hydrated. Carry a familiar backup if your expected duration or conditions call for it.

04

Gear and wax day

This profile does not contain a race-specific wax prescription. Measure current conditions and make the final wax call with products and processes you have already tested.
