Do you want to test your speed on a course with an exceptionally original theme? Gentleman’s 5K Run in Mosina is a unique event that references the historic slogan “The Gentleman from Mosina.” It’s a perfect option for those who love fast racing and good fun – many runners and fans take the name literally, showing up at the start in bow ties, neckties, or collared shirts! The town lies just outside Poznań, from where you can get here by car or on a Wielkopolska Railways train in just 20–30 minutes 🚗.
After crossing the finish line with a new personal best and picking up a unique medal, it’s worth changing into comfortable shoes and heading out to discover the area, which offers plenty of green nooks for weekend relaxation:
A romantic stroll by Góreckie Lake: Located in the heart of Wielkopolski National Park, this lake is an oasis of calm. From the viewpoint you can admire the picturesque ruins of a Neo-Gothic castle on Castle Island 🏰.
A trip to the Observation Tower in Mosina: The wooden structure on Pożegowo is a great destination for an afternoon walk. From the top, there’s a beautiful panorama of Wielkopolski National Park and Poznań shimmering on the horizon 🗼.
A visit to the Rogalin Oaks: Located just next to Mosina, the estate in Rogalin impresses with its monumental palace and centuries-old oaks (Lech, Czech, and Rus), which form one of the largest concentrations of ancient trees in Europe 🌳.
A hearty Greater Poland lunch for a Gentleman: After a fast run, it’s time for some serious recovery. Local restaurants will treat you to traditional duck with potato dumplings and red cabbage, or the classic, filling potato with cottage cheese and sour cream 🍲.
Put on your tie, lace up your shoes tight, and report to the start line in Mosina in true gentlemanly style!
