ULTRA-TRAIL® MAŁOPOLSKA (UTM 2026)

ULTRA-TRAIL® MAŁOPOLSKA (UTM 2026) is a multi-distance mountain ultrarunning festival held in the Małopolska region, centred on the Gorcezański Park National Park and surrounding Gorc and Beskid ranges. The festival assembles a programme of very long trail races including UTM 240, UTM 170, UTM 105, UTM 64, UTM 45 (Memoriał Bartka Czajkowskiego) and UTM 16, with routes passing through Nadleśnictwa Myślenice, Limanowa, Nowy Targ, Krościenko and adjacent areas. The organiser, Fundacja 4 Alternatywy, publishes detailed regulations, mandatory equipment lists and athlete cards on the official site and operates centralized bib collection and start procedures from the event stadium in Mszana Dolna.

The event places emphasis on very challenging terrain, significant elevation gain and strict safety procedures: selected distances are tracked with rented trackers, and there is a mandatory equipment policy enforced via the athlete guide. There are dedicated race pages for each distance with specific start times, elevation figures and finish time limits, and competitors receive a finisher pack at the finish rather than a pre-race start pack. Entrants should consult the official pages for the full regulations, route GPX resources and the athlete card prior to race day.
