Wadowice Ten 2026

Get ready to start in a place the whole world knows! Wadowicka Dycha is a 10 km race that blends sporting energy with the extraordinary atmosphere of the hometown of John Paul II. Here, cheered on loudly by locals and tourists, you sprint to the finish with the famous basilica in view. Although Wadowice lies at the foot of the Little Beskids, the organizers do their best to make the course conducive to personal bests—making this race an ideal fitness test in southern Poland 🏃‍♂️ ⛪.

Once you’ve picked up your medal and your breathing returns to normal, Wadowice will serve you a recovery set you won’t find anywhere else:

The famous Wadowice kremówka – let’s be honest, this is a must on the itinerary! After burning a few hundred calories on the course, stopping by one of the pastry shops at the Market Square and eating the legendary kremówka isn’t a sin—it’s every runner’s dietary duty. It’s the best “carb-loading” in the history of sport 🍰☕.

The Family Home of the Holy Father John Paul II – a modern, multimedia museum – is a place worth visiting even after a big effort. The tour moves at a calm pace, allowing your legs some gentle recovery in air-conditioned, beautiful interiors 🏛️.

The Skawa River Boulevards – if you feel your muscles need a light “shakeout” in contact with nature, a walk along the Skawa River will be perfect. These are green recreational areas where, in peace and quiet, you can rest from the buzz of the event 🌳🌊.

The Little Beskids within arm’s reach – if you still have some strength left in your legs, a short trip to Jaroszowicka Góra or a walk toward Gorzeń Górny will let you look down on Wadowice from above. The view of the town and the winding Skawa is a perfect reward for the effort you put into the run ⛰️.

Remember: in Wadowice you run not only with your legs, but with your heart. Are your shoes ready for a tenner in the city where “it all began”? 🏁
