Charity Run 'With Love for Health' in Tomaszów Mazowiecki (often also referred to as a preventative picnic) is a unique event organized by the NU-MED Foundation in collaboration with local partners. It is not just a sports competition but, above all, a large campaign promoting cancer prevention and a healthy lifestyle 🤝. Participants usually choose between two main distances: the main run of 5 km (with professional time measurement) and a recreational run of about 2 km, which whole families often join, sometimes with strollers or pets 💨. The event includes free medical consultations, preventive examinations, and lots of attractions for the youngest, and the entry fees support oncology patients ✨.
Once you've collected your commemorative medal and recharged your energies, Tomaszów Mazowiecki (located just over an hour from Łódź and Warsaw) offers incredible places for an afternoon of relaxation 🏰:
Niebieskie Źródła Nature Reserve: It's the absolute gem of the region. A perfect place for couples to walk amidst crystal-clear blue waters and the songs of rare birds 🐦.
Pilica River Open-Air Museum: Located right next to the springs, it's the first river open-air museum in Poland. Families with children will be thrilled to see a historic watermill or military vehicles pulled from the riverbed 🚜.
Nagórzyckie Caves: An underground tourist route in a former quartz sand mine. The coolness of the caves and fascinating legends of brigands make it a great adventure for any explorer 🔦.
Ice Arena: If you're looking to cool down after the run, it's worth visiting Poland's first year-round ice track. You can enjoy an active rest there or simply admire the modern architecture of the building ⛸️.
Tomaszów sour rye soup with white sausage: Be sure to try the hearty, homemade sour rye soup at local taverns – it's the perfect restorative meal to give you energy after the race 🥣!
