Santa Claus Run Festival 2026

Toruń transforms into the reddest city in Poland, and you can become part of this joyful wave 🎅. Participants can choose distances from 5 km and 10 km, up to the half marathon, which is over 21 km of Santa adventure 🏃. The route leads through the charming corners of the Gothic Old Town, where the cheering of the locals warms you up better than hot chocolate ☕.

Once you cross the finish line with bells on your shoes, Toruń will welcome you with its magical landmarks 🏰. Be sure to visit the interactive Living Museum of Gingerbread to bake a traditional delicacy under the guidance of a master 🍪! With your family, you can visit the Planetarium to look at the stars and feel the cosmic energy 🔭. If you're in the mood for a trip outside the city, you can reach Ciechocinek in less than an hour to breathe in the famous brine graduation towers 🌬️. For post-run recovery, the legendary Toruń gingerbread cookies in dark chocolate are perfect 🍫
