The title sponsor of the event is ORLEN, and thanks to its professional organization, precise timekeeping, exceptional routes and the atmosphere of top-level racing, everyone can feel like a true pro here. The 2026 season promises to be even more exciting!
In the previous edition, over 3,000 participants lined up shoulder to shoulder at the start, taking on some of the most demanding routes in the country. You create the unique spirit of this series – full of passion, the fighting spirit of cycling, and the energy that carries you from start to finish.
The ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amateurs – Ryszard Szurkowski Memorial and the ORLEN Lang Team Race are not just single events – it’s a series where riders compete for stage wins as well as positions in the overall OPENclassification.
“I’m very happy that more and more people join our cycling series each year. We see the growing passion for cycling and how our great cycling family is expanding. It brings me huge satisfaction,” says Czesław Lang, General Director of ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amateurs and ORLEN Lang Team Race.
“For the next edition, we’ve prepared a truly interesting route in Arłamów. The start and finish will be located at the Arłamów Hotel, and along the route riders will face the well-known and much-loved climbs of Gruszowa and Kalwaria Pacławska. We set off from the hotel, ride through Siodło and immediately begin real racing.”
That’s why we encourage you to take part in all three races! The general classification of the ORLEN Lang Team Race includes results from the MAXI distance in Arłamów, BUKOVINA Resort and Bytów. The ranking is based on the total time from all races – only those who complete the entire series have a chance to stand on the overall podium during the grand finale in Bytów. It’s a true test of fitness, endurance and cycling character.
“In Bukowina Tatrzańska, riders will face two 25-km laps, each featuring the iconic climb up the BUKOVINA Wall in Gliczarów. The start will traditionally take place at BUKOVINA Resort, with the finish at the RUSIŃ-SKI Ski Station. In the race village, fans will find attractions, partner stands and special Decathlon zones.
The third stage is Bytów – our proven classic. We’ve prepared two distances: a shorter one of around 40 km and a longer one exceeding 100 km. Everyone will find something for themselves.”
