48th Bieg Piastów cancelled due to bad snow conditions

20.2.2024

We regret to inform you that due to unfavorable weather conditions, specifically lack of snow, high temperatures, rain and bad weather forecasts, we are forced to cancel the 48th KGHM Bieg Piastów Cross-Country Skiing Festival, which was to be held between February 24 and March 3, 2024. Unfortunately, natural conditions are beyond our control. The safety of participants and the quality of the event itself are our priority, which is why we have made the difficult decision to cancel the competition.

Starting packages for the 48th KGHM Bieg Piastów for all distances, with start numbers and gadgets, will be available for collection in Jakuszyce on dates to be announced soon. Competitors who will come to Jakuszyce during the canceled main competitions will be offered other ways of spending their time. We are planning running and hiking trips of various distances with a bonfire and the premiere of a film about Julian Gozdowski. We will inform you about the details soon.

We offer everyone who registered for the 48th KGHM Bieg Piastów Cross-Country Skiing Festival a discount on the entry fee for Bieg Piastów in 2025. The amount of the discount (at least 50 percent) will be announced in the coming days. If you need a stamp for your Worldloppet passport, you will receive it provided that you cover at least half of the appropriate distance on skis near Jakuszyce, e.g. in the Czech Republic, and register this race via GPS. Details of this solution, after consultation with Wordloppet, will be provided soon.

The Polish organisers are offering a discount on the entry fee for Bieg Piastów 2025 to all those who have registered for the 48th KGHM Bieg Piastów. The amount of the discount (at least 50%) will also be announced in the coming days.

There are still two races left in the series and we still believe and hope for the return of true winter to Harrachov and Paprsek during the JeLyMan races. See you soon in the footsteps of ČEZ SkiTour races, SKOL!
