Poznań Korba

Poznań Korba is a 180 km bike race around Poznań — for people who like bikes, forests and the question “how much further?”. The route follows the Poznań Cycling Ring, which runs through some of the most beautiful countryside in Wielkopolska: Rogalin Landscape Park, Wielkopolska National Park, Zielonka Forest and Promno Landscape Park.

Riders cover forest paths, farm roads, tarmac and gravel, climbing 970 metres along the way — all within a maximum of 15 hours. Around 350 riders take the start. Everyone rides on their own, but no one rides alone — the event has a strong sense of community, centred on the riders’ evening meetup at the campsite in Kórnik before the start.

The race runs in a self-sufficiency format — every rider takes care of their own supplies. There is one feed station on the course (Złotniki, km 103). It is not a speed race — it is a test of endurance, navigation and self-reliance.
