June '56 Run 2026

Want to combine a passion for sport with a beautiful patriotic gesture? The June '56 Run in Poznań is a unique event that carries an incredible emotional and historical weight 🏅. This isn’t an ordinary race – it’s a running lesson in remembrance, where every meter completed is a tribute paid to the heroes of those days. Participants can look forward to a great, exceptionally atmospheric route and a symbolic 10 km distance, perfect for giving it your all and feeling proud at the finish line 🌲.

Poznań is a vibrant, historic capital of Greater Poland which, after you collect your commemorative medal, offers plenty of fantastic ideas for spending your free time:

Goats and history for the whole family: An absolute must-see is a visit to Poznań’s Old Market Square to watch the famous Poznań goats butting heads on the Town Hall tower at noon 🏰. It’s also worth visiting the interactive Porta Posnania museum, which brilliantly tells the story of the beginnings of the Polish state.

Romantic relaxation by the water: Head with your better half to Lake Malta 🌊. You can stroll along the shore, rent a pedal boat, or take the charming narrow-gauge railway “Maltanka” straight to the New Zoo.

Tropical downtime: If your muscles need some relaxation after the run, visit the Poznań Palm House 🌿. A walk among exotic plants and the sound of water is a perfect way to calm down and recover.

Sweet and hearty flavors: After burning hundreds of calories, it’s time for a traditional Greater Poland feast 🤔! Be sure to try the potato classics – potatoes with cottage cheese and chives – and for dessert обязательно order the legendary St. Martin’s croissant with white poppy seeds and dried fruit and nuts – after an effort like that, it tastes like pure heaven.

Put on a patriotic race outfit, feel the spirit of freedom, and report to the starting line … 🏁 See you in Poznań!
