Get ready for a cycling spectacle in a city that lives and breathes sport! Gran Fondo Poznań is a race made for fans of speed and silky-smooth roads. The route, starting from the heart of the city (often near the Poznań International Fair or Tor Poznań), takes you through the table-flat yet remarkably scenic areas of Poznań County. It’s the perfect place to smash average-speed records, ride in a well-drilled peloton, and feel the atmosphere of a grand tour. You can choose between the Gran Fondo and Medio Fondo distances—so whatever your training level, you’ll feel the fire under your feet! 🚴♂️🔥
Once you’ve parked your carbon rocket after a sprinter’s finish, Poznań will host you the way only the capital of “pyry” can:
St. Martin’s croissants – this is your absolute recovery must! No other meal will replenish glycogen as stylishly and deliciously as this certified Greater Poland delicacy filled with white poppy seeds and nuts🥐.
Relax by Malta – if the finish wasn’t right there, be sure to head to Lake Malta. It’s Poznań’s sports hub, where you can sit in the stands of the regatta course and calmly gaze at the water, giving your legs a rest🌊.
Old Market Square and the billy goats – after the race, it’s worth stopping by one of the most beautiful market squares in Europe. Right at noon, the butting goats on the Town Hall tower are a sight that always lifts your mood—even after the toughest climb (which, luckily, there aren’t many of in Poznań!)🐐.
Termy Maltańskie – your muscles will thank you for a visit to the largest water park in Poland. The brine pools and sauna zone are the best way to make sure that the next day you don’t feel like you rode a hundred kilometers at a strong pace💦.
Remember that Poznań is a city of bikes—its infrastructure and cycling culture are top-notch. Are you ready to crank it up to full throttle in the heart of Greater Poland? 🏁
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
