Hill Street 13 2026

This is an exceptionally atmospheric trail run (cross-country) held in Chrząszczyce near Opole (Prószków Municipality). Hill Street 13 is a great option for runners who, instead of smooth asphalt, choose varied paths, forest tracks, and... a solid dose of climbs. Although the name suggests the distance, the route (often hovering around 13 km) is designed to test your strength endurance in beautiful natural surroundings.

Once you cross the finish line and wipe the Chrząszczyce dust off your shoes, the area offers a few great options for recovery:

Finish-line picnic: A tradition of races in places like this is a shared bonfire, homemade cake, or local pea soup. It’s the best way to quickly refuel and connect with the community. 🥘🥧

Lipno Arboretum: Located nearby (about a 20-minute drive), it’s the oldest arboretum in Poland. A calm walk among exotic trees is the perfect form of active recovery and unwinding after the sporting excitement. 🌿🌲

Prószków Castle: Right next to Chrząszczyce, this Baroque castle is a great destination for a short, restorative walk. You can admire the architecture and soak up the municipality’s historical atmosphere. 🏰🧱

Relax in Opole: The regional capital is just a stone’s throw away. After the run you can head to Bolko Island, where a walk along the Oder or a visit to the local zoo will let you fully relax surrounded by greenery. 🦓🌊

Coffee on Opole’s Market Square: Cozy cafés by the town hall are the perfect place to sink into an armchair and enjoy some well-deserved rest after the hardships of the course. ☕🥐

Hill Street 13 is a race with soul, proving that big sporting emotions are found in smaller towns. Ready to take on the hills around Chrząszczyce? 🏁
