Barbórka Run 2026

Time to head down and show that your fitness is pure gold in the very heart of Rybnik! The Barbórka Run is a tradition where every kilometer tastes like success earned with sweat, and the mining atmosphere only cranks up the pace. Here you’ll find a 10 km race—perfect for a quick shot of energy in the Izera Mountains. Show you’ve got a fighter’s heart and a form as tough as miners’ coal⛏️.

After you finish the course, Rybnik and the surrounding area have plenty to offer, so don’t rush straight home:

Visit the Ignacy Historic Mine in the Niewiadom district, a true gem of industrial architecture—walking among the old hoisting machines is impressive and lets you feel the atmosphere of working underground🏗️.

Take your loved ones to Rybnik Market Square, where after the run you can enjoy a delicious dessert in one of the charming cafés and admire the town hall, which looks magical in the evening☕.

If you feel like a moment of peace in nature, head to the Park in Rudy, where there’s a beautiful monastic complex—an ideal place to unwind after the sporting buzz🌳.

Be sure to try the traditional Silesian beef roulade with dumplings, which is the culinary king in this region and will get any runner back on their feet after a tough effort🍖.

Remember that Rybnik is just a stone’s throw from Gliwice and Żory, so you’ve got plenty of other attractions within easy reach! Are you lining up at the start of this unique race🏃?
