Beskidy Ultra - Trail®

Beskidy Ultra - Trail®: the Beskids ultra

Every summer, the Beskidy Ultra - Trail® brings trail runners together in Szczyrk, a mountain resort in the Silesian Voivodeship in southern Poland. The event offers several distances, from around ten kilometers up to an ultra of roughly 100 km with more than 6,000 m of elevation gain, plus intermediate formats of about 25 and 55 km. The courses wind through the Beskids, the forested mountains of the Western Carpathians, alternating long climbs, panoramic ridges and descents through the forest. The cumulative elevation gain, very significant for a mid-altitude range, has earned it a reputation as a demanding race, popular with Polish runners and visitors from all over Central Europe alike. In the Swiss Alps, the Wildstrubel by UTMB® offers a challenge on a completely different scale.
