Kresowe Trail Letniki 2026

Do you fancy a cross-country run that will prove to you that Podlasie isn’t flat at all, and at the same time will charm you with its wild, raw nature? Kresowe Trail Letniki is one of the most dynamic, green, and spectacular stages in the entire series of cross-country runs on the borderland of the Knyszyńska Forest 🏅! The race route in Letniki is famous for surprising terrain variety—forget boring, monotonous straight forest paths. Sandy and at times truly steep climbs await you, treacherous roots hidden in the forest litter, natural obstacles, and winding singletracks that will test your agility over varied distances🏁.

Once you proudly sprint across the finish line, shake hands with the organizers, and hang the commemorative medal around your neck, the area will offer you brilliant ideas for spending the rest of the weekend:

A family trip to a land of technology and history: Head to nearby Białystok and visit the interactive Epi-Centrum Science Popularization Center with the kids, or take a stroll through the gardens of the monumental Branicki Palace, known as the “Versailles of Podlasie” 🏰. Huge courtyards, beautifully maintained hedge mazes, and fountains make it the perfect place for a family afternoon and souvenir photos with your medal.

Romantic relaxation by the water for two: Take your other half to nearby Wasilków or Supraśl for a charming walk along the riverside boulevards 🌊. If you prefer silence and complete peace, the perfect idea will be a lazy afternoon on the banks of the Supraśl River, where the sound of the water and clean forest air will let you reset effortlessly and cool down tired running muscles.

Uncovering the secrets of the Knyszyńska Forest: Take advantage of the proximity of one of the largest forest complexes in Poland 🌲. A trip to the Krzemienne Góry nature reserve or a walk along boardwalks in nearby forest districts is a fantastic way to calm your senses after the sporting adrenaline.

A Podlasie feast for a hungry runner: A tough, forest cross will drain a lot of energy from you, so a proper calorie reload is an absolute must 🤔! In regional inns, be sure to order the local traditional hits: hefty, hot kartacze stuffed with meat and topped with crispy cracklings, traditional potato babka served with a thick mushroom sauce, or the iconic Podlasie blueberry pierogi to end the day on a sweet note.

Get your trail shoes with good tread ready, brace yourself for a solid cross-country battle on the forest hills, and report to the starting line … 🌲 Letniki are waiting for your atomic pace!
