The race at a glance

Route and elevation

The latest IRONMAN 70.3 Kraków preview links Zakrzówek Reservoir with a rolling bike route through Lesser Poland and a run finishing on the Old Town Market Square. The swim venue and city-centre finish require separate arrival and reunion plans.

  • The 1.9 km swim is in Zakrzówek Reservoir, a former limestone quarry.
  • The 90 km bike description passes Wieliczka and Bochnia before city-centre T2.
  • The run uses three roughly 7 km loops plus the final finish approach.

Race guide

A quarry swim and a finish in the Old Town

The organizer currently displays the completed August 2, 2026 edition and a pending next date. Keep these course details as a preview until a new athlete guide confirms them. A future month mentioned in marketing is not enough to anchor a taper, flight or hotel booking.

Zakrzówek is a former quarry, while the bike ends at a city-centre second transition. Map the swim entry, first transition, T2 and finish as separate destinations. Check the next guide’s shuttle, bag and equipment collection arrangements before assuming you can walk between every race operation.

The bike preview travels through Wieliczka and Bochnia over rolling terrain. Use controlled climbing effort and practise eating and drinking on appropriate sections of your normal training rides. A scenic route can still accumulate fatigue; choose gearing and pacing from the final profile rather than a hoped-for finish time.

The run description uses three 7 km loops and a final approach to the Old Town Market Square. Recognise the point where a final-lap runner leaves the loop and keep your own lap count. Arrange a supporter meeting point beyond the finish controls, and recheck the athlete guide for aid locations and any changes to city-centre access.

Next edition awaiting confirmation

An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
