On Saturday, 23 May 2026, the Olešná Reservoir once again became the home of extreme triathlon. The 2026 edition brought an expanded race programme: alongside the traditional FULL and HALF distances, the new TEAMS relay, Duathlon and Aquabike races made their debut, and the youngest athletes took on the KODIÁČEK children’s triathlon.
The FULL field hit the water at 04:00 and faced a 3.8 km swim, a 183 km bike leg with 2,700 m of elevation gain and a 42 km mountain marathon. The HALF was half the distance but no less of a challenge: a 1.9 km swim, 91.5 km on the bike and a 21 km mountain run.
In the end, 22 athletes completed the FULL and 58 crossed the finish line of the HALF. A big thank you to all athletes, their support crews, volunteers and partners – Grizzlyman would not be what it is without you. Here are the podiums:
