Run with Joy 2026

If you're looking for a race that combines a family-friendly atmosphere with a fast course, the "Run with Joy" in the Wawer district of Warsaw is made for you 🏃. You can choose either 5 km or 10 km distances, running with the energy of Radość's streets, especially Patriotów and Mozaikowa. It's a perfect opportunity to break your personal record: the course is flat, and the cheers of locals in front of their houses will give you wings at every kilometer 🏁. Moreover, the event is charitable: each year, the proceeds from race entries support the children of the Polsat Foundation. Every stride thus genuinely helps others 💛.

After crossing the finish line, traditionally located near the Toyota Radość dealership, the surrounding area is filled with wonderful spots to recover:

Make a stop at the Salt Inhalator in Millennium Park, or head to the Międzylesie Spa nearby, to relax your muscles after an intense effort 🌊.

If you're more into active recovery, go for a stroll in the Mazovian Landscape Park. Its dunes and pine forests are the perfect place to recharge your batteries 🌲.

Visit the streets of Radość and Anin to admire the wooden architecture, typical of this corner of Warsaw 🏠.

Discover the iconic Café-Cinema Stacja Falenica, nestled directly in the station building. You can watch an art film while enjoying a good coffee, almost sitting on the platform ☕.

For a well-deserved reward, head to the local eateries. Opt for a generous plate of pyzy with bacon or a nice portion of Italian pasta to replenish your glycogen stores 🍝.

In short, it's a race that, as its name suggests, will leave you with a big smile on your face once you've crossed the line! 🏆
