Sudetes trails + slick organization: punchy climbs, forest singletrack, and a modern Polish ultra scene.
Garmin Ultra Race Radków 78km is a mountain trail race held on September 11–13, 2026, starting at approximately 05:00 from Zalew Radkowski (Radków reservoir) in the Stołowe Mountains, Lower Silesia, Poland. The course covers 78km with 2,300m of gain (~29.5 m/km) through the sandstone formations and forest singletrack of the Stołowe (Table) Mountains National Park — past Błędne Skały (Labyrinth Rocks), Białe Skały (White Rocks), Skalne Grzyby (Rock Mushrooms), and the summit of Kopa Śmierci (Death Peak). The average uphill gradient of 7.5% is in the gentler quarter of the DTR database — this is not an alpine grind — but Climb 2 reaches a 50.7% maximum gradient spike through a sandstone rock gully. Entry costs €0.86/km (~280 PLN / ~€65); bank transfer avoids the 2.5% platform fee. Wrocław Airport (WRO) approximately 108 minutes by road. Not sold out. Part of the Garmin Ultra Race series (UTMB qualifying). Race was cancelled in 2024 due to flooding; 2026 is the return. Suits trail runners drawn to unique sandstone mountain terrain at an affordable price point.

Course Profile — Labyrinth Rocks, Death Peak, and 78km Through the Polish Table Mountains▼

A: The Stołowe (Table) Mountains in Lower Silesia are unique in Europe — a sandstone plateau with dramatically eroded rock formations including Błędne Skały (Labyrinth Rocks), where runners navigate tight corridors between sheer rock walls, and Białe Skały (White Rocks).
