DIABLAK EXTREME TRIATHLON 2026

Get your athletic will ready and forge a tempered-steel mindset—we’re taking you on a real journey to the end of hell. The nightmarish slopes and unpredictable weather of the Beskids are waiting for you for the most extreme and brutal triathlon in all of Poland ! 😈

Set your sights on the south of the country, in the heart of the grand mountains of Silesia and the Żywiec region 🇵🇱. The menu of delights invites you to take on the legendary Diablak Extreme Triathlon, a test of absolute violence reserved for a handful of gladiators. Whether you line up for the “Half” format or the terrifying “Iron” distance, stash your stopwatch dreams at the bottom of the abyss right away. The profile of this race is a true topographic aberration, boasting a colossal positive elevation gain. ⛰️

Your epic usually kicks off at dawn with an icy, shadowy swim in the deep waters of the great Lake Żywiec. Once launched onto your machine, the course hurls you into an infernal succession of formidable mountain passes, forcing you to chain together the famous climbs of Salmopol and Kubalonka. The immersion becomes downright apocalyptic during the final battle on foot. Your run turns into a pure wild mountaineering expedition to conquer the summit of Babia Góra, affectionately nicknamed the “Devil’s Mountain” (Diablak). You’ll have to face dizzying rocky slopes, very often lashed by violent winds and biting cold, to reach the summit sign that marks the end of your torment 🌋.

Adrenaline saturates the thin air within an ultra-intimate pack where absolute humility reigns supreme. Here, the fervor lies in the visceral mutual support between competitors and their indispensable support crew. Every step toward the summit is a shared victory, celebrated in pain and self-transcendence. A wildly intense atmosphere greets you at the summit, where tears of fatigue mingle with the fierce pride of having brought down the beast 🏅.

Keep one last survival instinct to carefully make your way back down from your cloud once you’ve crossed the line. Carry your broken body toward vital rest. Start your watch and come challenge the Devil! 💥
