The event in a few words

Celebrating freedom in Sopot is pure pleasure, especially when the route runs along the murmuring Baltic Sea 🌊. Runners face a fast and picturesque 5 km distance, which is perfect for both sprinters and entire families 👨‍👩‍👧. The seaside breeze and white-red colors create a unique, festive atmosphere 🇵🇱.

Once you proudly reach the finish line, the resort offers plenty of ways to recuperate. Be sure to take a walk on the longest wooden pier in Europe to breathe in the iodine 🪵! With your partner, you can visit the famous Crooked House and take a souvenir photo by its extraordinary facade 📸. If you're up for a trip, you can get to Gdynia in less than an hour to board the historic destroyer ORP Błyskawica ⚓. For a well-deserved meal after the run, we recommend a traditional Sopot flounder straight from the pan at one of the seaside fish bars 🐟
