Your runway

37 weeks to race day: base season

Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.

R
Recover
Consider recovery context, sleep and readiness before adding training load.
A
Align
Fit the plan to your actual life, not the one you wish you had.
C
Condition
Minimum effective dose. The right sessions, done fresh.
E
Execute
Race-week protocol, pacing, contingency. Nothing new on race day.

Building for this one? T100 training support cover the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.

Road to Race

Build my complete road.

Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.

One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.

Already have the app, or want it? The app takes this race and builds the block around it.
Abraham Spring, founder of Unbroken

“The organiser describes a flat single-loop bike and a four-lap run by the beach, so even pacing and fuelling matter most.”

Questions, answered

When is Challenge Gdańsk 2027?

Challenge Gdańsk takes place on 20 June 2027.

What distances can I race at Challenge Gdańsk?

100 distance. Pick the distance that fits your training runway, not your ego: the right distance is the one you can arrive at fresh.

How hard is the course?

Road terrain, flat profile. Organiser descriptor: flat bike loop. No elevation gain published

What is the swim like?

One lap in the Baltic Sea from the city beach, left of Brzeźno Pier.. Not stated by the organiser. Practise open water before race week, not during it.

How long do I need to train for it?

Race day is 20 June 2027. For T100's 2 km swim, 80 km bike and 18 km run, a proper recovery-led build wants about 12 weeks, which means starting around 28 March 2027. Later starts still work: the block compresses honestly rather than pretending, and it always anchors to the exact race date.
