On May 16, 2026, the cycling peloton will once again arrive in the demanding and selective terrain of the Bieszczady Mountains, where another edition of the ORLEN Lang Team Race at Hotel Arłamów will take place.
This event has consistently built its reputation over the years as one of the best-organized and most valuable sporting events for amateur cyclists in Poland.
Cycling competition in the Bieszczady Mountains
Nearly 70 kilometers, with both the start and finish located at Hotel Arłamów, is a treat for every cycling enthusiast. The mountainous route profile, characteristic of the region, requires riders to manage their effort efficiently on long climbs while maintaining high speeds on technical descents. The total elevation gain is 1,505 meters.
Key points of the competition include well-known cycling sections in the areas of Gruszowa and Kalwaria Pacławska. From the very first kilometers, after passing through the so-called saddle – the peloton will stretch out, and the battle for position will begin almost immediately.
The race will be held across a wide range of age categories, separately for women and men ensuring a balanced level of competition and fair racing in each group. The category system includes riders from the age of 16 up to 75+. Winners of each category will receive white ORLEN Lang Team Race leader jerseys, produced by EKOÏ.
