Get ready for one of the most popular half marathons in south-eastern Poland! PKO Rzeszów Half Marathon is a race that pulses with the energy of a dynamically developing city. The course is usually fast, flat, and leads across modern bridges (including the impressive Mazowiecki Bridge), along the Wisłok and through the atmospheric surroundings of Rzeszów’s Market Square. It’s the perfect place to fight for a personal best, carried by the loud cheers of the residents.
After finishing in Rzeszów’s Market Square and picking up your medal, the capital of the Podkarpacie region has a solid recovery package for you:
Rzeszów Market Square and the Underground Tourist Route: Start your rest in the heart of the city. If you still have some strength left in your legs, heading underground (with its consistently low temperature) is a great way to cool down and refresh your senses after running in the sun. 🏰🧱
Bulwarks along the Wisłok: These are the running and recreational lungs of Rzeszów. After the start you can relax here on the grass, looking at the river. It’s the perfect place to “walk off” soreness on a soft surface and catch your breath among the greenery. 🌳🌊
Multimedia Fountain: Located right next to the Lubomirski Castle. The sound of water and the modern architecture of the surroundings encourage relaxation. It’s a popular meeting spot for runners, where you can calmly discuss the course and split times. ⛲📸
Podkarpacie specialties: Rzeszów feeds you wonderfully! After burning through 21 km you have to try local treats. Look for restaurants serving proziaki (traditional buttermilk flatbreads) or a hearty portion of pierogi. The region is known for its hospitality, so the portions will definitely fill you up. 🥟🥯
