Garmin Ultra Race Radków 78km: Poland's Table Mountain Trail Race, Measured
Garmin Ultra Race Radków 78km is a mountain trail race held on September 11–13, 2026, starting at 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) 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.
