BESKIDY MTB TROPHY


 

 

The Beskidy Mountains are one of the most highly interesting mountain ranges of The Karpaty Mountains. Istebna, which is located at the border of three countries, is the heart of the exceptional race. The extremely demanding area harmonizes with the emotions that our event radiates with and which are generated during all the competition. Our event is a fusion of the highest level of the art of mountain biking and an unusual circumstances which bring the natural born riders to this European region. The Mountains, which never compromise, which are wild, which are both unconquerable and unachievable by many people are the heart of the matter. This competition creates the specific standard in the European MTB and it is not a coincidence. The innumerable single tracks, the technical and narrow paths which interlace with vistas and glades create the unforgettable landscapes. Beskidy MTB Trophy has been known for its exceptionally hard routes and picturesque area which decrease every year. We are doing our best to keep in shape all that we had been gifted by nature, all that The Beskidy Mountains differ from The Alps and The Pyrenees. The variety of forms and styles which you can experience and see while participating in our MTB event is much more different than those which are generally known and well recognized at most civilized European mountain tracks. This exceptionality is our secret and power. It is our precious gift which we take care of and use showing our respect to ubiquitous nature at the same time. There are many stage races. MTB Trophy in The Beskidy Mountains is the one and only!


We invite you to take part in the competition that will give you a taste of real MTB. Prove yourself, test your level of "know how", compete with other MTB enthusiasts like you. It will not be easy. The thrill-seekers will be satisfied ... every single day. We have prepared for you the race consisting of the 4 stages leading through the most interesting routes and tracks, perfect to practice MTB in still rare in Poland individual formula. The Beskidy MTB Trophy has been planned so as to give the competitors the maximum sensation and satisfaction to practice MTB. It will be the real challenge and adventure in the mountain scenery. The routes and tracks choosen for the race are known to the most experienced riders only. The Beskidy MTB Trophy is exceptional in the European MTB competition calendar for some reason:Firstly, this is a stage race in which the final position depends on the results got in all stages. Secondly, each competitor takes part in the race individually, but the teams will be taken into consideration in the classification (the time results obtained by at least 3 team members). Thirdly, we facilitate the participation in the event as much as we can- the starting and finishing line of all stages and the main office of the event will be located in Istebna, a mountain resort known for the 3 successful editions of MTB Marathon (www.mtbmarathon.com) in the final in 2006 the legend of MTB - Gary Fisher took part in. Fourthly, the stages will be led through 3 countries (Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland). Next, you will have an opportunity to ride on the extraordinary terrain giving lots of satisfaction and guaranteeing the best visual sensation. These 4 days that we prepared for you will satisfy the hunger of technical downhill rides, fast singletrack and murderous uphills: the real MTB!
