The event in a few words

Feel national pride by covering distances of 10 km or 1918 m in the very heart of Podlasie 🏃. The route leads through historical points of Białystok, and the white-and-red river of runners creates an amazing spectacle full of patriotic emotions 🎇. This is a run where not only time matters, but above all, community and the joy of regained freedom 🕊️.

After the sports excitement, the city and surroundings offer plenty of attractions! ✨ You can head to nearby Tykocin to visit the local castle and feel the atmosphere of an old Jewish town 🏰. If you're looking for fun for the whole family, visit the Polish Army Museum in Białystok, where interactive exhibitions will fascinate every little explorer ⚔️. For relaxation, it's worth strolling along the banks of the Supraśl River towards the spa, enjoying the peace and quiet of the Podlasie nature 🌳. For recovery, I recommend traditional meat-filled kartacze, which are a true culinary symbol of this region 🥟!
