Oliwa Ultra 2026

Forget the flat seaside promenades of Gdańsk, Oliwa Ultra is a run that proves that the Tricity Landscape Park (TPK) isn’t some “city woods,” but real mountains—just without peaks above 1,000 meters. It’s a cult event for those who love technical trails, mud, and elevation gain that can surprise more than one highlander. The start and finish in one of Gdańsk’s most beautiful districts give the race an incredible atmosphere. You run in the wild and finish almost beneath the walls of the historic cathedral. 🏰🍃

Once your quads start crying on the final descent into Oliwa, Gdańsk offers recovery that runners from other regions will envy:

A walk through Oliwa Park: An absolute masterpiece of horticulture. A calm stroll along even paths, among exotic plants and the murmur of a stream, is the perfect way to “quiet down” your body after the forest battle. 🌳🌷

Oliwa Cathedral and the organ: Sit in the cathedral’s cool interior and, if you catch an organ presentation, let the sounds carry you away. It’s a spiritual kind of recovery that will let you rest from the rush of sporting adrenaline. ⛪🎹

Pachołek: If your legs somehow still want to work, climb the observation tower on Pachołek Hill. From above, you’ll see the entire route you’ve just conquered, as well as the blue of the Gulf of Gdańsk. 🗼🔭

A sea swim in Jelitkowo: From Oliwa, the sea is just a stone’s throw away. Nothing regenerates your legs after the Ultra like 15 minutes in the cool Baltic. It’s a natural brine that will work wonders on your calves. 🌊🧊

Oliwa Ultra is a run that teaches that the mountains begin where the asphalt ends—even if the beach is only a few kilometers away. Ready for an Oliwa squeeze? 🏁
