The International Fair of Bicycle Industry is the magnet that every year attracts to Targi
Kielce several thousand bike enthusiasts. Bicycle races aficionados account for a
large number of expo-centre visitors

The race which is accompanies Kielce cycling expo brings together about 600 competitors from all corners of Poland, including 100 children.

- I have come with my mother. We live in Pulawy, Lublin Province. I have chosen the hobby distance and my intetnio is to win  - says Mateusz Wydro who can boast participation in about 40 marathons.

Mazovia MTB Marathon offers the four types of route: hobby (9 km), fit (30 km), mega (48 km) and giga (70 km). At the beginning the marathon route is fast and offers variable road-surfaces. A further 10 km stretch includes slight uphills. When Mega and Fit separate, cyclists are in for real mountain biking in Posłowickim Chain of the Holy Cross Mountains - rapid, technically demanding downhill-stretches are like in a typical MTB race. Mega offers a 20-kilometre loop, Giga features 40 km of gruelling intervals.

The youngest cyclists are offered a special race - MiniMini + Mazovia sponsored by the TV MiniMini + TV station.
