Catharine Pendrel (Luna) and Jiri Friedl (Merida Biking Team) claimed the first edition of the Jelenia Gora Trophy – Maja Wloszczowska MTB Race. Maja Wloszczowska herself , the Polish silver medallist from the Olympic Games in Bejing, China, took the second place in the UCI category 2 event. Simultaneously, she played the role of host and patron of the event.

Canadian Pendrel, US National Champion Mary McConneloug (Kenda Seven Notubes) and former Olympic champion Miguel Martinez were the biggest names drawn to the event which was attended by some of the best Polish, Czech and Russian riders, too.

Pendrel ruled the women's race. Flying over the technical course at Paulinum Mountain, she took the advantage from the start and finished first despite a crash on the downhill. Wlosczowska, Anna Szafraniec (JBG-2 Professional MTB Team) and McConneloug battled for second place with Wlosczowska coming out on top.

The elite men's race was unexpectedly dominated by Czech riders. Friedl and Filip Eberl (Scott Scania Team Kolin) started strongly, loosing Martinez, who couldn't keep their tempo on the uphills. The best Polish rider, Marek Galinski (JBG-2 Professional MTB Team) was slowed by technical problems and eventually finished ninth.

Friedl took the first place in the end with Eberl in second at two minutes and Martinez in third. Adrian Brzozka (JBG-2 Professional MTB Team) finished fourth as the top Polish rider of the day.

Pendrel and Friedl both took home prizes of 1,000 euro.
