Prepare for great sports excitement that takes over Kalisz at the end of August! This event is known for its incredibly fast route, perfect for setting personal records, and a finish line located in the very heart of the historic Main Market ๐.
You can choose between two flagship distances:
1/4 Iron Man: (950 m swimming / 45 km cycling / 10.5 km running) โ for those who like a serious challenge.
1/8 Iron Man: (475 m swimming / 22.5 km cycling / 5.25 km running) โ ideal for a debut or a sprint pace.
The swimming takes place in the Prosna river, the cycling is a fast "shot" along wide arteries, and the run goes through the charming City Park and historic center ๐ณ. After getting out of the water and putting the bike away, Kalisz offers royal recovery:
โจ Relax by the Prosna: If you've had enough of water, just sit on the boulevards and watch it flow โ it's soothing for tired muscles ๐.
๐ฐ The Oldest City: Take a walk to the Zawodzie Archaeological Reserve to see what an early medieval settlement looked like. It's a remarkable contrast to modern time bikes ๐ก๏ธ.
๐ฆ Kalisz Classic: After such effort, calories don't count! Make sure to buy the cult Andruty Kaliskie โ thin, crispy wafers that are listed as traditional products ๐ฅจ.
๐๏ธ Town Hall and Tower: Climb the town hall tower to see the panoramic view of the city you just raced through at a killer pace ๐ผ.
๐ฅ For Recovery: Around the Market Square, you'll find great restaurants serving Greater Poland classics โ look for dumplings with beef stew or a hearty portion of duck with red cabbage ๐ฆ.
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
