Time for a true running legend and an escape from the city asphalt 💪! Cross Ostrzeszowski in Ostrzeszów is one of the oldest and most atmospheric cross-country races in Poland.

It’s the perfect place to feel real freedom and test your running strength off-road.

Ostrzeszów and the picturesque Ostrzeszów Hills are full of charm, so after crossing the finish line it’s worth staying here for a longer family weekend 🥇. Here’s what you can do in the town and within a dozen or so minutes by car:

Conquer the Ostrzeszów Tower – climb the remnants of the castle built under King Casimir, from where there’s a fantastic view of the whole area 🏰.

Rent a kayak or pedal boat in Kobyla Góra – this nearby resort village with a large reservoir is the perfect place to relax and take a walk around the water 🌊.

Climb Kobyla Góra (284 m a.s.l.) – the highest peak in Greater Poland, crowned by the impressive Jubilee Cross, is a great destination for a recovery trek with the family 🌳.

Taste Ostrzeszów’s thick żurek or local cured meats – the region is famous for traditional meat products that will perfectly replenish your energy stores after a solid cross 🍽️.

Ostrzeszów is a cozy, green little town in southern Greater Poland. If you’re traveling from afar, you can easily combine this start with a visit to bigger cities – you can get to Wrocław or Kalisz from here in just over an hour by car. Take on the cross-country challenge and feel the magic of tradition 👟!
