Pałecznica Race 2026

In 2026, the Jura Sport Events calendar welcomes its second major addition with the Kościuszkowski Classic, also known as the Pałecznica Race. This event builds on the success of last year's J-labs Skała Race by introducing a new course in northern Lesser Poland that blends sporting competition with community integration.
The race is designed to bring together amateur cyclists and members of law enforcement agencies who safeguard public safety daily. Participants will include representatives from various services such as the Police, State Fire Service, Border Guard, Internal Security Agency, local fire departments, military forces including Army, Air Force, Navy, Special Forces, Territorial Defense Units, and other formations.
The race features a challenging route with rolling terrain and significant elevation gain of over 1000 meters on the longer distance. Cyclists will face dynamic conditions that test their endurance and technical skills throughout the course.
This event is more than just racing; it's a celebration of camaraderie among cyclists and first responders, fostering mutual respect and teamwork between these communities. The race will be broadcast live to ensure everyone can follow along with the action-packed day.
The Kościuszkowski Classic has been honored by Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz as its patron. Factor is the strategic sponsor for this event, which is organized in collaboration with three municipalities: Pałecznica, Radziemice, and Racławice.
Before registering, participants are encouraged to review the race regulations to ensure they understand all requirements and rules governing their participation.
