PKO Race of the Three Mounds 2026

If you’re dreaming of a race with a true trail spirit, the Race of the Three Mounds (PKO) in Krakow is a must-attend event ⛰️. On the program: a route of about 13 km linking three historic mounds, Wanda Mound, Lion’s Hill and the Piłsudski Mound 🏃. It’s the only mountain race in Poland held right in the heart of a major metropolis, and its elevation gains are sure to really get your calves burning ⚡.

Once you’ve conquered the final summit in Wolski Forest, the surrounding area is packed with great activities. Don’t miss the Krakow ZOO, located just steps from the finish line, perfect for a family stroll 🐘. If your legs need a gentle recovery, drive about fifteen minutes to the Tyniec Benedictine Abbey: you can recharge there on the banks of the Vistula, in absolute peace ⛪. Want to extend the fun with the family? Pop over to the Stanisław Lem Garden of Experiences, where kids and adults alike will get hooked on learning through play 🧪.

Finally, to reward yourself properly, treat yourself to the traditional Krakow maczanka : a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth pork neck served in bread, generously smothered in onion sauce 🥯.

More than just a race, it’s a true test of character! 🏆
