If you’re looking for a race with an amazing, almost family-like atmosphere, and at the same time you want to test your fitness on fast courses, Silesiaman Triathlon Bieruń is a must-have in your calendar. It’s one of the most popular editions of the Silesiaman series, which traditionally draws hundreds of "triathlon" enthusiasts to the grounds of the recreation center by Bieruń.
After the race, Bieruń offers a few interesting places worth visiting to feel the vibe of this Silesian town:
Market Square in Old Bieruń: A charming, intimate square with a historic urban layout. It’s worth stopping by for coffee and ice cream. In the middle of the square you’ll find a distinctive fountain with figures of utopce – legendary characters from Silesian beliefs, which are a symbol of the city 👺.
St. Valentine’s Sanctuary: This is a unique wooden church (the so-called "Walencinek") from the 17th century. Interestingly, St. Valentine is the patron saint of Bieruń, and the town promotes itself as the "city of love" – the perfect spot for a post-race meet-up with someone close ⛪❤️.
Mini Arboretum and the "On the Fence" Gallery: If you like peace and nature, a walk around the Bieruń arboretum will help you calm your body after the sporting adrenaline 🌳.
Bieruń "Kopytka": While in Bieruń, be sure to try local prepared food products. Silesian cuisine in this form is a solid boost of energy after the calories you’ve burned 🥟.
Silesiaman in Bieruń is known for excellent organization and a bike course which—although it can be flat—can surprise you with wind, demanding full focus from the athletes. The run around the lake, in turn, is pure eye-candy. This is a race where everyone feels like a winner at the finish line, and a Silesiaman medal always has a unique, "full-of-character" design … ✨ See you in the transition zone by the lake! 🏁🏅
