Wisła Extreme Duathlon

If you’re looking for a race that will make you sweat blood and tears and test every muscle in your body, Wisła Extreme Duathlon is a perfect choice. Here, no “park stroll” vibes: it’s an event for those who love the mountains, elevation, and the scent of burned brake pads. The challenge isn’t just against rivals, but mainly against yourself and the demanding terrain of the Beskid Śląski ⛰️.

The unforgiving nature of this duathlon is this: you start with a solid mountain run, then hop on the bike (often with a steep climb, for example the legendary Salmopolska), before finishing with a final running leg.

Wisła, the jewel of the Beskidy, is the perfect place for this kind of “extremes,” and after the race the town offers plenty of options to recover (if you can still walk 😉):

Adam Małysz Ski Jump Hill in Malinka : See how high jumpers launch from. You can take a cable car to spare your legs after the race and soak in the valley panorama 🎿.

Ochorowiczówka Museum of Magic Realism : To switch from sports adrenaline, dive into a surreal art world. It’s an incredible place to give your mind a break, far from cardio analysis and pace 🎨.

Wisła Cascade : A short walk to Wisła’s tallest cascading waterfall is a great way to shake off soreness, lulled by the soothing sound of water 🌊.

Glycogen recharge: Wisła is a haven of good food. kwaśnica with smoked ribs or placki z wyrzoskami (crickets) are an absolute must to come back to life after such effort 🥣.

Wisła Extreme Duathlon is a race that stays in memory for a long time — mainly because of the calf pain, but above all thanks to an incredible sense of accomplishment at the finish line, right in the heart of the mountains… ✨ See you at the starting line in Wisła! 🏁
