Makoska Dycha 2026

Makoska Dycha in Makoszyn is a race with soul, bringing athletic competition to the heart of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, specifically on the picturesque trails of the Cisowsko-Orłowiński Landscape Park. Although the name suggests ten kilometers, the route usually measures about 12 kilometers and is a demanding cross, full of forest paths, sandy ascents, and technical descents that can surprise even experienced runners. The start and finish at the local school in Makoszyn pulse with an incredible, family atmosphere, where the scent of the forest mixes with the aroma of traditional soups prepared by local hostesses.

After battling the elevations and Świętokrzyski sand, the best reward is a feast at the finish line, where local delicacies, such as homemade cakes and hot żurek, taste like the best catering in the world. If your legs need a leisurely walk to cool down, it's worth taking a stroll towards the nearby Zamczysko Nature Reserve, where among ancient beeches and firs, you'll find the peace and quiet perfect for calming emotions after the starting adrenaline. This place has something magical that allows you to quickly forget about the struggles of the ascents.

Makoska Dycha proves that it's not the distance but the atmosphere and the beauty of nature that build the legend of the race you want to return to in each subsequent edition!
