Kwidzyn Forest Marathon 2026

Looking for a running challenge that lets you escape the city hustle and test your strength surrounded by pure nature? The Kwidzyn Forest Marathon is an event created for lovers of trail running and forest paths 🐗. True to its name, the main highlight is the royal distance marathon (42.195 km), but the organizers also take care of runners who prefer shorter challenges, offering a demanding half marathon (21 km). Kwidzyn is a smaller, charming town that you can reach easily and quickly from larger nearby cities such as Grudziądz or Tczew 🚗!

When you cross the finish line with forest mud on your shoes and immense pride, the weekend is far from over. The area offers plenty of fantastic ways to spend the afternoon with family or your other half 😉:

Admiring Kwidzyn Castle: This monumental Gothic fortress is famous for the largest toilet tower (dansker) in the world, connected to the castle by an impressive arcaded bridge 🏛️.

Relaxing in the Las Liwski nature reserve: If, after the marathon, your eyes still crave greenery, this beautiful forest complex located right next to Kwidzyn will be perfect for a peaceful walk 🌿.

A visit to the recreation area in Miłosna: The former historic stallion stud is a wonderful place for a family trip, admiring beautiful architecture, and getting up close with animals 🐴.

Tasting Kociewie ruchacz: After burning a gigantic number of calories, you have to try a local delicacy – traditional, fluffy yeast fritters fried in a pan, served sweet 🥞.

Feel the call of nature, pack your trail shoes, and run your own success in Kwidzyn!
