Hunters Grodzisk Half Marathon “Słowak” 2026

Hunters Grodzisk Half Marathon “Słowak” is a true running festival that every year turns Grodzisk Wielkopolski into the capital of Polish running. It is one of the most recognizable half marathons in Poland, famous for the fantastic support of local residents—almost every house along the route puts out its own fans, who cheer runners on like at the Tour de France! 📢 The name comes from the High School named after Juliusz Słowacki, and the race’s history goes back to the days when it was an intimate school event, before growing into a nationwide happening with thousands of participants ✨. A fast, certified course and an unmistakable atmosphere mean that every year many runners set new personal bests here.

Once you cross the finish line at the stadium and collect your well-earned medal, Grodzisk Wielkopolski (less than an hour from Poznań) offers ideal conditions for recovery 🏰:

Old Market Square and Town Hall: An ideal place for couples for a calm post-race walk. The historic square is full of life, and atmospheric cafés let you relax with coffee and cake ☕.

City Park: Extensive green areas in the city center are a great option for families with children—you can rest on the grass or stroll along the paths, letting tired legs recover in the shade of the trees 🌳.

Regional Museum: If you want to learn more about the history of this remarkable town and the region’s traditions, it’s worth stopping by the museum—it’s a short, interesting lesson in local history for everyone 🏛️.

Grodzisk is famous for producing Grodzisk beer—a light, noble brew (also available in a non-alcoholic version, perfect after a run!) is a local symbol you simply have to try, sitting in a restaurant garden 🍺. After 21 kilometers, the body needs energy—local inns serve delicious, crispy potato pancakes that will get any half-marathoner back on their feet 🥔!
