An important element of the cycling festival, just like the UCI WorldTour race, is the Tour de Pologne Junior and the ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amateurs. The second of these will take place this year on August 9 on a demanding route in the vicinity of Bukowina Tatrza\u0144ska. The competition will again be held as the Ryszard Szurkowski Memorial, in honor of the cyclist who passed away four years ago, a four-time Olympic medalist, three-time Peace Race winner, and four-time Peace Race overall winner.<\/p>\n<p>The ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amateurs route has traditionally been a real treat for fans of riding on two wheels. This year, participants will cover just under 50 kilometers in a picturesque setting. The peloton will start from the BUKOVINA Resort, heading towards the Rusin-Ski Station, where the finish line is planned. The route will not lack challenges, including the famous BUKOVINA Wall in Gliczar\u00f3w, where for years the world&#8217;s best cyclists have competed in the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour.

This year, we won\u2019t be able to accommodate all guests ourselves \u2013 the whole region eagerly awaits the race. During the break years, locals asked if the race would return. It\u2019s a major event for the local community, and for us, it\u2019s a great opportunity to showcase our facilities and surroundings via TV broadcasts and the fans lining the route,<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<p>Amateur cyclists are also drawn to Bukowina Tatrza\u0144ska by the legendary climbs of the BUKOVINA Wall and the Harna\u015b Wall \u2013 both featured in the professional race. At the same time, BUKOVINA Resort caters to active tourists who prefer two wheels.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 <em>Our hotel infrastructure is ready and now tailored to cycling amateurs. The accommodation and recovery services after stages and training sessions are excellent. Relaxing in thermal waters helps with fast regeneration. After 15 years of partnership, we still see that cyclists stay with us year-round, testing themselves on these tough mountain routes \u2013 the BUKOVINA Wall in Gliczar\u00f3w and the Harna\u015b Wall in Rzepiska. They may seem daunting, but if you\u2019re prepared, these climbs can be conquered,<\/em> concluded Edward Kuchta.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s edition of the ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amateurs will take place on August 9.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-22342 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina2-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina2-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina2-2.jpg 790w, https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina2-2-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina2-2-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina1-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina1-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina1-1.jpg 790w, https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina1-1-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/langteamrace.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bukovina1-1-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An inseparable element of the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour is the ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amateurs race, held as the Ryszard Szurkowski Memorial.
