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▼
Q: What are the Stołowe Mountains and what makes the terrain distinctive? 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). The terrain is not alpine but is technically demanding due to its tight passages, rock steps, and gully descents. The summit Kopa Śmierci (Death Peak) provides the course's high point.
