The event in a few words

Who said winter is the time to go into hibernation? Gdynia Ultra Way - Winter Race is an extreme winter edition of the iconic run that proves the Tri-City forests can kick your butt at any time of year! When the coastal wind lashes your face and the trails are covered with snow or treacherous slushy mud, you take on the forested moraine hills in the Tricity Landscape Park. The event offers varied, spectacular distances—from shorter routes ideal for a winter off-road warm-up, to demanding long ultra distances where steep climbs and slippery descents will make you sweat buckets. Gdynia is a modern, well-connected city that you can reach easily and comfortably by train or car from all over Poland 🚗.

When you cross the finish line with frozen breath on your eyelashes, but a warm heart and immense pride, it’s time for some well-deserved recovery. Winter in the Tri-City has an amazing, intimate vibe—perfect for spending the rest of the weekend with family or your other half 😉:

A winter walk on the pier and the cliff in Orłowo: The majestic, frost-covered cliff and empty beaches without the summer crowds make a stunning impression. It’s the perfect place for a romantic stroll and an escape from the city hustle and bustle 🌊.

A warming visit to the Emigration Museum: Located in the historic Maritime Station, this modern, interactive museum is a great place for a family history lesson and a perfect shelter from the winter wind 🏛️.

Admiring the panorama from Kamienna Góra: Take the free funicular up to the very top, where in clear winter weather a fantastic, crisp view opens up over the sleeping port and the Bay of Gdańsk 🚠.

A warming seaside lunch: After a freezing effort, you need to properly recharge your batteries. Nothing gets you back on your feet like a thick, spicy fish soup at the harbor or traditional fried cod—plus a mug of hot winter tea with ginger and honey 🐟.

Pack your gaiters, sharpen your running edge, and run your own winter success on the Gdynia Ultra Way routes!
