Poland community cycling events May–August 2026

Overview

From May through August 2026, Poland ran a dense programme of community cycling activities. May opened with the Suwałki Bike Challenge time‑trial and Pakosław Children’s Day rides. June saw family rallies in several towns, the Cup of the Cycling Capital in Bydgoszcz, L’Étape Poland in Zakopane, the Visegrad 4 Grand Prix, the Sudecka 100 ultra‑marathon, and various rallies in Drawsko Pomorskie, Suwałki, Nędz, Bystra, Lubartów, and Raszków. In August, a national 3,333‑km fundraiser launched, retailers offered e‑bike discounts, and mountain‑rescue alerts spurred helmet‑use campaigns. Świdnica was named Poland’s Capital of Cycling and hosted the Świdnica MTB Cup.

The men’s Tour de Pologne took place from 3–9 August. The 83rd edition began in Gdynia with a 234‑km stage to Koszalin, won by Italian sprinter Jonathan Milan (Lidl‑Trek), who took the yellow jersey ahead of Paul Magnier and Noah Hobbs. The race featured 147 riders from 21 teams and included a ceremonial presentation aboard the ORP Błyskawica. Milan secured a third consecutive victory on the 193‑km Gorzów Wielkopolski–Zielona Góra route, extending his lead to 18 seconds over Magnier and 20 seconds over Hobbs while retaining the points jersey. The race drew top contenders including Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel, with live coverage provided by Eurosport and HBO Max.

Following the amateur Memorial of Ryszard Szurkowski in Bukowina Tatrzańska, upcoming amateur events include the 21st Ogólnopolski Gwiaździsty Rajd Rowerowy ‘Wzgórze Polak’ on 6 September and the ORLEN Lang Team Race finale in Bytów on 19 September.
