GREATMAN Kórnik Triathlon 2026

Get ready to start in one of the most charming places in Greater Poland! Kórnik invites you to a triathlon challenge in the GREATMAN series, where the rivalry unfolds in the shadow of the legendary White Lady. This is where you’ll test your all-around skills—swimming across Lake Kórnickie, speeding by bike through the surrounding forests, and finishing with a run along the picturesque lakeshore. You can choose distances from 1/8  to 1/4 (for the fast players), as well as the full Ironman distance (for those who like a proper grind). Show the GREATMAN within you! 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Once the emotions settle after leaving the transition zone and crossing the finish line, Kórnik will offer you recovery in truly royal style:

Visit Kórnik Castle – an absolute must-see. Even if you don’t meet the White Lady, a stroll through the historic interiors and admiring the unique collections is a great way to unwind after the sporting stress🏰.

Relax in the Kórnik Arboretum – the oldest and richest dendrological garden in Poland. A walk among exotic trees and blooming shrubs is the perfect "cool-down" for your muscles and your mind🌳.

Take a walk along the promenade named after Wisława Szymborska – a modern path along the lake will let you gently jog off the soreness to the soothing sound of water and with a view of the castle rising above the lake’s surface🌊.

For a solid recovery meal, choose one of the local restaurants serving Greater Poland specialties – a hearty portion of duck with potato dumplings and red cabbage is the best fuel to make up for the calories burned during the triathlon🍖.Remember that Kórnik is only 20 minutes from Poznań, so you can easily combine your start with a weekend of sightseeing in the capital of Greater Poland!

Are you ready to jump into the water and fight for the GREATMAN title in the shadow of the castle?
