The event in a few words

This is one of the most atmospheric trail runs around Poznań, taking runners straight into the heart of the Zielonka Forest. Forget about asphalt – here it’s 100% nature: narrow paths, soft ground, and the scent of the woods. The race village, start, and finish are located in the incredible Dzieje Park in Murowana Goślina, giving the event a unique, historical picnic-like vibe. 🍃🛤️

The main distances let you experience true trail running without extreme elevation, but with a huge dose of satisfaction – 10 km and 21 km are waiting just for you! But that’s not all— ForestRun is a distinctly family-oriented event: the youngest have their own starts, and entire families can test themselves in an orienteering rally with a map in hand. 🧭👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Once you’ve run out of the forest and collected your medal, the areas around Murowana Goślina and the Zielonka Forest are perfect spots for recovery:

Relax in Dzieje Park: Stay a little longer! This place is famous for historical spectacles and a recreation zone. Resting on the grass surrounded by old farmsteads and wooden structures is a great way to unwind after the sporting эмоtions. 🏹🏰

Observation tower on Dziewicza Góra: If your legs still have some strength left, head to the highest hill in the forest. A panorama of Poznań and a sea of woodland from above is the best visual reward for your effort. 🔭🌳

Arboretum in Zielonka: A peaceful stroll among rare species of trees and shrubs is a perfect form of active recovery. The quiet and calm of this place will help your senses rest from the race-day bustle. 🌿🌷

Former monastery complex in Owińska: On your way back to Poznań, it’s worth stopping by nearby Owińska. A walk around the historic monastery and a visit to the Spatial Orientation Park is a unique experience that will round out your day in nature. ⛪🚶‍♂️

For some well-deserved “carbs,” head to the town center. Restaurants such as Pieprz & Wanilia or u Estery offer delicious, home-style dishes that will get you back on your feet in no time. 🍲🥯 ForestRun isn’t just a run—it’s #TimeForTheForest. It’s the perfect chance to slow down for a moment, take a deep breath, and feel the energy of Greater Poland’s nature. Ready for a forest finish in Dzieje Park? 🏁
