From 16–18 July the newly built Cross‑Country Park in Polanica‑Zdrój hosted the 34th Polish Mountain‑Bike Championships, organized by Grabek Promotion. Competitions covered XCO, XCC and relay races, with former Olympic silver‑medallist Maja Włoszczowska opening the venue. After the championships, a recreational Bike Marathon allowed amateurs to ride the same course. Regional officials praised the events as part of a broader effort to develop cycling infrastructure in Lower Silesia.
