Sompong Sombati - Last year, to mark turning 60, Sompong Sombati did something even he calls crazy: he completed six ultradistance triathlons in a five-month span. In each event the Virginia medical researcher swam 3.8 km, biked 180 km, and ran a full marathon. He does this to relax !

This year he decided to start in our event again.

Congratulations on your condition and see you at start line Som !

16.7.2009 - We updated Time schedule and added some additional informations in How to reach Szczecin

08.7.2009 - Due to the deteriorating quality of roads on the last year route we decided to change radically the bike route. For almost all of the new route is a very good surface quality. The disadvantage of this route, unfortunately, is that it leads in the majority among the forests of Wkrzanska Primeval Forest, so is not as picturesque as the previous one, which proceeded to a large extent, also among the fields and meadows.
On the route page there is already up-to-date map.

10.06.2009 - Due to high interest on our event we increase the limit of the number of participants to 50 peoples!
We are also introducing a new category - team relay - in short, each member of a 3-people team will have to race in one discipline - distances across disciplines are the same as an individual category, we will provide more details of the next weekend.

19.05.2009 - We are very pleased to inform that Sombati Sompong (from Richmond, U.S.A) have just registered for our race as a 26th competitor. He found a lot of joy during last year's edition of our event and decided to start again. It will be his 27th iron distance triathlon !!!

1.05.2009 - We updated payment informations. See Entry Fee section for details on how to pay.

16.01.2009 - preparations are going "full steam", thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we can  significantly enhance our event this year, we'll provide more details later

27.08.2008 - We started preparing to IV Iron Triathlon - "eXtremalna Sobota 2009", immediately after the event organizers met to do the "brainstorming" and to summarize on the fly the organization this year and write all the comments, suggestions and ideas to be implemented in the course of the next edition, notes taken a few A4 pages !!!
