MTB Downhill Harenda Grand Prix

Harenda Ski and Recreation Centre will be hosting the open mountain biking race MTB Downhill Harenda Grand Prix on the 18th and 19th of August. The race is a chance to watch some of Poland's best downhill mountain bikers race over the brutal Tatra mountain paths. Or, for the more adventurous spirits, one can even enter the open race in a chance to compete for several cash prizes. Be warned however, as all entrants must have proof of insurance - not a good sign. But if your preferred spot is in the audience rather than the track, you can watch the opening runs between noon and 6 pm on the 18th and 9 am and 11:45 am on the 19th, with qualifying races starting at noon, and the finals starting at 3 pm on the 19th. But the events aren't over with the awards ceremony at 5 pm. The celebrations continue with a concert by the band K2 at 5:30 pm, and an afterparty at Ampstrong Club from 10 pm until the early hours, featuring several DJs and the German post-rock band Dadajama.
