Garmin Triathlon Tour Ślesin 2026

Garmin Triathlon Tour Ślesin is a legendary stop on the map of Polish triathlon, where the crystal-clear waters of Lake Ślesińskie guarantee the fastest swimming of the season 🌊. You can choose from distances 1/2 IM (1.9 km swimming, 90 km cycling, 21.1 km running), 1/4 IM (0.95 km swimming, 45 km cycling, 10.55 km running), and 1/8 IM (0.475 km swimming, 22.5 km cycling, 5.275 km running) 🚴. The flat and extremely fast cycling route is a perfect opportunity to "turn up" the pace and challenge for a new personal best in the heart of Greater Poland 💨. The atmosphere at the finish line under the famous Napoleon's Arch will make you feel like a true winner ✨.

Once you take off your wetsuit and set aside your bike, Ślesin and its surroundings (just over an hour's drive from Łódź or Poznań) offer great places to relax 🏰:

The Basilica in Licheń: Just a 10-minute drive from the start is a monumental temple with beautiful gardens, perfect for a peaceful walk with the family ⛪.

The Boulevard by Lake Ślesińskie: This is an ideal place for couples for an evening stroll at sunset with a view of the yachts ⛵.

The Viewing Tower in Paprotnia: Climb to the top to admire the panorama of Greater Poland's lakes and forests from a completely different perspective 🌲.

Be sure to try the classic Greater Poland dish - 'pyr with gzik', the best way to recover after a huge effort 🥔!
