PZU Gran Fondo Ełk

Get ready for a cycling party right in the heart of the Lake District of Ełk! Gran Fondo Ełk blends world-class race prestige with the incredible Mazurian nature atmosphere. The route winds through scenic, rolling landscapes where lakes pop up around every bend and the scent of the forest accompanies you every kilometer. Several distances are available – from the grueling Gran Fondo, to Medio Fondo, up to the Family format: everyone will find a challenge that matches their legs. A perfectly orchestrated race that will make you feel like a pro in the heart of the peloton! 🚴‍♂️💨

After an emotionally charged finish by the lake, Ełk will offer the best way to recover in a "slow life" vibe:

A stroll along the lake of Ełk – one of the longest and most beautiful promenades in Poland. The perfect spot for a recovery walk: medal around your neck, you can savor the water view and relax in one of the many restaurants 🌊.

The ruins of the Teutonic Knights' Castle – located on an island (today connected to land by a bridge), they stand as the historical symbol of the town. A perfect backdrop for souvenir photos and a short history lesson between start and lunch 🏰.

The Ełk Narrow-Gauge Railway – feel the atmosphere of Mazury past! A ride aboard a historic train is a fantastic attraction: your legs can rest while you admire the scenery from the windows of a retro railcar 🚂.

After burning thousands of calories on the course, nothing tastes better than fresh fish straight from a Mazurian lake. Marene, pike-perch or pike served at local fry shops are a must for every cyclist 🐟. Don’t forget that Ełk is the capital of the Mazury Garbled, so get ready: the course won’t be completely flat – the hills here know how to surprise! Is your road bike ready for a Mazurian classic? 🏁
