Hydra 2026

Hydra trail – a 18 year off-road (70% singletrack) product of many long searches and miserable, but sometimes very rewarding, adventures. For last nine years it was developed with a help of volunteers and participants.

The trail has both technical cross country single tracks and long fast gravel parts, which go through most beautiful Polish and Lithuanian cities, small countryside towns and forests. Along the trail there is an opportunity to visit a handful of biggest Lithuanian cities: Kaunas, Vilnius (capital) – for sure you will be surprised how close single tracks and city centers can be and at the same time how beautiful and untouched nature is in Baltic states! You will also have to check yourself in time limited checkpoints where you will meet our volunteers and locals.

This year we will have two tracks (750, 1000 km) that will end up in the same city – Zarasai, with a finish sauna and BBQ party. We will also encourage more riding together, building bikepacking community, instead of racing.

Have some of best times exploring exquisite Baltic nature and challenge yourself in endurance at the same time!

Hydra is hard and only around 50% of participants do finish it.
