The Bike Marathon is an egalitarian event. If you want to take part in it is enough to come to Błonia on Sunday, 28th June, at 11 o’clock with your bike and helmet on your head. Of course you also need to be fit and determined to fight, as the Bike Marathon requires a great physical effort.
The 4th Open Championships of Krakow will take place this year during the Cracovian edition of the Marathon. Taking into consideration their strength and experience, the participants will have a chance to choose three types of routes. The less experienced contestants are advised to take the shorter 25-kilometer ‘Kross’ route, the more experienced ones may prefer ‘Mega’ route which is 67 kilometers long and the masters of cycling will probably choose a 90-kilometer-long ‘Giga’ route. In comparison to the last year’s Marathon, only some minor changes have been introduced to the routs – they are supposed to be more attractive and ‘mountainous.’ The children, of course, can take part in the traditional Mini Bike Marathon.
The supporters who will wait for their cyclers in the ‘sport town’ in Błonia may also expect many attractions. First of all, the action S.O.S for Africa will take place near the starting line. Then, the sport enthusiasts will have a chance to learn how to dance, see the fire show, listen to some good-night stories, laugh at the cabaret show or have a good fun during the concerts of Raz, Dwa, Trzy group, Maleo Reggae Rockers band and Zbigniew Wodecki.
