If you're looking for a route with character, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center, the Swoszowicki Run is one of the friendliest events on Krakow's calendar. Traditionally held in May, its heart is the Swoszowice Spa Park โ one of the oldest sulfur health resorts in Europe. Awaiting you is a challenging yet rewarding 10 km route (Main Run) and a shorter 1.6-kilometer Family Mile, ideal for a joint start with loved ones.
After setting a personal best on the Swoszowice ascents, the area offers regeneration in true spa style:
Relax at the Spa: Take advantage of the benefits of the Swoszowice Spa, where sulfur baths will revive your legs faster than any supplement ๐.
Stroll in the Spa Park: Rest in the shade of the park's old trees, admire the historic architecture of the water drinking hall, and enjoy the peace that's hard to find on Krakow's Bลonia ๐ณ.
Family fun: Right next to the route, you'll find the Military Affairs Museum located in a former Krakow Fortress fort โ a real treat for history and military enthusiasts ๐๏ธ.
Runner's feast: For a well-deserved meal after the run, head to the Parkowa restaurant, where you'll recharge in a green setting. If you're in the mood for something sweet, local cafes serve homemade cakes that are perfect for the May sunshine ๐ฐ.
This is a run that proves Krakow has its "green lungs" and a sporty heart also on the southern outskirts of the city!
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
