The 2017 Tour de Pologne was a road cycling stage race that took place between 29 July and 4 August in Poland.

Along with a Polish national team, three other squads were given wildcard places into the race, and as such, formed the event's 22-team peloton.

It contained the two category four climbs of the day, and the final metres before the finish line headed slightly downhill, with speeds of about 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph) expected from the top riders.

Once the riders had descended, they returned over the Salmopol, going in the opposite way from that climbed previously, with the summit coming 11.3 kilometres (7.0 miles) before the finish line.

Having started in Zawiercie, the first section of the route was hilly, covering the sole categorised climb of the day in Olkusz, where there was also an intermediate sprint, with the other two being in Jastrzębie-Zdrój and Rybnik.

The stage started from Olimp Nagawczyna, near Dębica, heading south-east, through the Podkarpackie Voivodeship.

The route was hilly throughout, with four categorised climbs all coming in the second half of the section – two ascents in Gmina Lubenia and one in Łany (part of the village Matysówka), before the riders entered Rzeszów, where the only intermediate sprint was held.
