Elbląg Run and March of Hope 2026

If you want to combine your passion for sports with helping others, the Elbląg Run and March of Hope is an event you can't miss 🌼. In the picturesque Bażantarnia forest, you'll find 5 km and 10 km distances, and for those who prefer a slower pace – a 3-kilometer March of Hope leading to Chrobry Mountain 🏃. All proceeds from the entry fees support the beneficiaries of Elbląg Hospice, so every step you take has real power to help 💛.

After the run, Elbląg and its surroundings offer perfect conditions for relaxation:

Bażantarnia: Stay longer in the forest itself – it's the "little Bieszczady" of the north with numerous trails and charming rest shelters 🌲.

Old Town: Take a stroll by the Elbląg River, see the Market Gate, and climb the tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral to admire the panoramic view of the city 🏰.

Elbląg Canal: It's just a stone's throw away – a unique worldwide system of inclined planes where ships "sail on grass," it's a must-see 🚢.

For lunch, choose local fish from the Vistula Lagoon or classic dumplings, which will taste superb after forest trails 🥟. This start is not just a race against time, but most importantly a run for hope! 🏁
