Race Through Poland No.8

Race Through Poland No.8 is a one-stage, self-supported, long-distance bikepacking race with a free route and four control points. Riders make their way from start to finish entirely on their own, managing navigation, sleep, food, and equipment. Despite the name, the race does not take place only in Poland. The route crosses multiple countries and leads through the heart of the Central and Eastern European mountain ranges.

The 8th edition will be the longest in the event’s history, covering approximately 1,800km with around 27,000m of elevation gain. The route focuses on the Western Carpathians and combines demanding terrain with some of the most impressive landscapes in the region. High mountain passes, deep forests, long climbs, and quiet back roads define the character of the race. One stage, one ride, four controls, and a challenge shaped entirely by personal decisions rather than external support.
