Equestrian Triathlon “WKKW Sopot 2026” Once Again Highly Rated by Competitors from Around the World
The season opener at the Sopot Hippodrome began in spectacular fashion. Two weeks of intense competition as part of WKKW Sopot 2026 attracted the international elite of eventing riders, who competed in superbly prepared arenas located in the heart of the Tricity area.
For years, the Sopot event has enjoyed unwavering recognition among competitors. In addition to its unique location — nearly 40 hectares of green space situated in the city centre — participants continue to highlight the venue’s logistical advantages, including excellent transport connections and close proximity to the airport, both crucial for international teams.

Safety remains the key aspect, ensured by the excellent footing on the cross-country course, allowing horses to gallop confidently and safely even under the highest technical demands,” the organisers emphasised.
