TOYOTA Cross Half Marathon 2026

Get ready for the start of an exceptionally dynamic, green event full of sporting passion! The TOYOTA Cross Half Marathon in Jelcz-Laskowice (in the Lower Silesian voivodeship, just outside Wrocław) is a race that has permanently earned its place on the calendar of runners looking to escape the hard city asphalt. If you love the scent of the forest, natural terrain, and great organization with an automotive touch in the background (thanks to Toyota Motor Industries Poland plants), this race is made for you!

Once you cross the finish line, catch your well-deserved breath, and proudly hang the medal around your neck, Jelcz-Laskowice and the surrounding area invite you to relax and discover local flavors and history:

Ponds in Jelcz-Laskowice and Nowy Dwór: The nearby ponds and forest district areas are perfect spots for a post-race stroll. A cool breeze off the water and the rustle of trees are the best natural compress for overheated leg muscles. Nearby, it’s also worth taking a look at the ruins of the neo-Gothic Palace in Jelcz-Laskowice (Jelcz-Nowy Dwór), surrounded by a historic park 🏰🌳.

Traces of Polish Automotive History: Jelcz-Laskowice is a legendary town for every automotive fan. It was here that the iconic Polish "Jelcz" trucks and buses were produced for decades (including the famous "Cucumber" bus). After the race, it’s worth looking for local highlights and monuments commemorating this incredible history of engineering 🚌🚛.

Protein refuel and the local food zone: After burning more than a thousand calories in the forest, it’s time for solid recovery. Local restaurants will treat you to traditional Polish and Lower Silesian cuisine. A juicy pork cutlet with fried cabbage or a huge portion of pierogi will help quickly rebuild your glycogen stores 🍽️🥟.

Close to the Oder River and a nature reserve: If you feel like a longer trip, the picturesque areas of the Oder Valley and the Łacha Jelcz Nature Reserve stretch out not far from here. It’s an oasis of calm where nature follows its own rules—an ideal place to unwind after the start-line emotions 🦅🌊.

The TOYOTA Cross Half Marathon is the perfect combination of a sporting challenge and closeness to nature. A great atmosphere, a safe and perfectly marked course, and forest silence broken by cheering fans mean you leave Jelcz with a powerful dose of endorphins … ✨ Test your strength on cross-country trails! 🏁🌲
