Time to start in one of the most atmospheric and picturesque races in the capital’s autumn calendar 💪! The Kabacki Run Golden Autumn is a unique event that lets you fully enjoy the charms of this incredibly photogenic time of year. When the tree canopies shimmer in thousands of shades of yellow, orange, and red, forest paths turn into a fairy-tale running course. Participants are usually greeted by a fast, well-prepared, flat loop over 5 km or 10 km ⏱️—perfect for checking your form at the end of the season or simply spending an active Saturday among fellow enthusiasts.
The Ursynów Kabacki Forest in an autumn aura looks downright spectacular. After checking in on the finisher’s certificate, taking souvenir photos in a rain of leaves, and picking up a beautiful autumn medal, be sure to plan a cozy rest of the day with loved ones or your other half 🥇:
Slow down in the Botanical Garden in Powsin – located on the edge of the forest, the garden looks stunning in autumn. A walk along the paths among plant and shrub collections changing color is the best calming recovery for your legs 🌳.
Visit the Royal Garden of Light in Wilanów – if the race takes place later in the autumn season, after dark make sure to head to the nearby palace, where thousands of colorful LEDs and mappings create a spectacular, illuminated labyrinth ✨.
Relax by the Vistula and on the Boulevards – an autumn stroll along the river has an extraordinary, nostalgic charm. The capital slows down from this perspective, and the view of the lit-up bridges from the deck of one of the year-round coffee barges makes a great impression 🌊.
Warm up with a thick pumpkin soup or traditional tripe - after a crisp autumn run, nothing gets you back on your feet like a hot, aromatic meal. For dessert, be sure to drop by for fragrant cinnamon rolls or a fluffy warm apple pie with ice cream 🥧.
Warsaw in autumn pulses with a rich cultural life and is superbly connected with the rest of the country (the metro will take you to Ursynów in no time). If after the start you’d like to escape the big-city buzz for a moment, in just about an hour by car or train you can reach historic Żyrardów or the edge of the Kampinos Forest. Get your warmer running gear ready, recharge your batteries with positive energy, and feel the magic of golden autumn on the course 👟!
