The event in a few words

Set your sights on the lush little town of Tarnowo Podgórne, nestled just a stone’s throw from the region’s major metropolis, in the heart of Greater Poland 🇵🇱. The day’s festivities invite you to devour the mythical half-marathon distance on a course as smooth as a billiard table. Your body will simply have to sustain a relentless pace and a low, efficient stride if you want to smash your personal best on this route designed to order for high performance ⏱️.

The ribbon of asphalt launches you onto an extremely fast loop, cleverly alternating between neat residential neighborhoods and vast stretches of Polish countryside. The immersion forces you to keep steely focus to fight the hypnosis of pace, all while enjoying open landscapes and the breeze that often gently sweeps across these plains—both agricultural and modern 🌾.

Adrenaline saturates the clean air within a pack of enthusiasts who prefer the human warmth of a medium-sized race to the anonymity of huge crowds. Here, the atmosphere oozes genuine camaraderie and legendary local hospitality 🤝. Residents line the sidewalks of their suburban streets to cheer you on loudly and carry you through the final kilometers. A wonderfully comforting fervor greets you under the finish arch, where the pride of a job well done is written on every face 🏅.

Be sure to save a tiny bit of energy to treat your body to a recovery worthy of royalty. Carry your exhausted muscles straight to the spectacular Termy Tarnowskie, the city’s large thermal-water complex, to lounge in the warm pools and melt away lactic acid ♨️. Then point your stomach toward a hearty plate of Polish specialties to celebrate your victory over the clock. Fire up your GPS and come make those soles smoke! 💥
