Gravel Triathlon Nowy Sztynort - Summer 2026

Get ready for a triathlon "breath of fresh air" in the very heart of the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes! Gravel Triathlon Nowy Sztynort is an event that redefines classic triathlon, focusing on freedom, closeness to nature, and the incredible vibe of the region’s sailing capital. Here, asphalt gives way to gravel roads, and the transition zone is located in one of the most iconic marinas in Masuria ⛵.

This is the perfect option for those who want to combine sporting competition with a holiday vibe. Swimming in the clear waters of Lake Sztynorckie (or the adjacent Lake Dargin), gravel biking on scenic routes around the Lehndorff estate, and running along paths where time seems to stand still – that’s the recipe for an unforgettable start!

Sztynort, with its rich history and sailing soul, is a place where you simply want to stay longer:

Port Sztynort: This is where the heart of the competition beats. One of the largest and most atmospheric marinas in Masuria. After the race, you can sit on the quay, listen to sea shanties, and feel like a true old salt ⚓.

The Palace in Sztynort: A monumental ruin of the former seat of the von Lehndorff family. The palace is currently undergoing renovation, but its sheer scale and the surrounding park with an oak-lined avenue make a stunning impression. It’s a place with a soul, well worth visiting for a restorative walk 🏰.

Lake Dargin and the Swan Trail: Sztynort lies on the Great Lakes route. If you still have the energy, renting a kayak or a sailboat after the race will let you look at the swim course from a completely different perspective 🦢.

The legendary "Zęza": The Sztynort tavern is a legendary place. Nothing helps you recover after a triathlon like a cold beer (non-alcoholic, of course 😉) and a hearty portion of Masurian food to the sound of live music 🎶.

Gravel Triathlon in Sztynort is more than a race – it’s a lifestyle. The combination of gravel freedom with Masurian calm makes it one of the most interesting highlights of the summer race calendar … ✨
