Triathlon for Januszes and Grażynas 2026

Had enough of the stiff atmosphere, titanium bikes worth a million coins, and the pressure to shave off every single second? Triathlon for Januszes and Grażynas in Sulistrowice is probably the craziest, happiest, and most iconic sports event in Poland 🏅! Here, professional gear and aerodynamic wetsuits give way to Hawaiian shirts, flamingo-shaped swim rings, moustaches (including painted-on ones), and the legendary discount-store plastic bags!

Sulistrowice (together with the adjacent Sulistrowice Reservoir) is a charming holiday village located at the foot of the magical and mysterious Mount Ślęża. The location is brilliant: from Świdnica or Dzierżoniów you’ll get here in 25 minutes, from Wrocław in under 40 minutes, and from Wałbrzych in under an hour 🚗. Once you proudly cross the finish line with a unique medal (and a cold, hoppy isotonic drink in hand), the area offers brilliant options for spending the rest of the weekend:

Conquering Ślęża with the family: Since you’re at the foot of Lower Silesia’s Olympus, be sure to go for a walk up Ślęża (718 m a.s.l.) ⛰️. The trail from Tąpadła Pass is gentle enough that even the most exhausted “Janusz” legs can handle it. At the top, a mountain shelter, an observation tower, and the famous ancient Bear cult statue await you – the perfect spot for a commemorative family photo.

Romantic relaxation by the water for two: Stay by the Sulistrowice Reservoir or head to the nearby, beautifully developed Mietków Reservoir 🌊. Spreading a blanket on the beach, lazily watching windsurfers, and admiring the panorama of the Ślęża massif in the glow of the setting sun is the perfect plan for an effortless afternoon in the arms of your beloved Grażynka or Janusz.

Mysteries and history in Sobótka: Visit neighboring Sobótka to see the charming Market Square, stop by the Ślęża Museum, or try local artisanal specialties at regional vineyards for which this area is becoming increasingly famous 🍇.

A feast worthy of a true champion: After such exhausting competition, lifting a fork is the only activity you should allow yourself 🤔! Forget salads and protein shakes. Jump into a local inn for a classic, mighty set: a giant pork cutlet with braised cabbage and potatoes, a plate of homemade Russian pierogi with a solid portion of cracklings, or the iconic sausage straight from the grill.

Pull out the most cringe-worthy socks from your closet, pack your legendary flip-flops, bring a huge dose of self-irony, and report to the start line … 🏝️ This event will go down in the history of your holidays!
