WARTA CHALLENGE Night Express 5K & 10K Kupala Night Run 2026

Do you feel like a dose of magic, mystery, and sporty adrenaline in the moonlight? WARTA CHALLENGE Night Express 5K & 10K Kupala Night Run is bringing its extraordinary energy to Biedrusko 🏃! Forget traditional starts under the blazing sun – here forest paths and the Warta riverside corners come alive after dark, and an amazing setting inspired by Slavic Kupala Night traditions gives you wings with every meter. You can choose between two great, incredibly atmospheric distances: a dynamic 5 km, perfect for a night walk, and the flagship 10 km, where you’ll test your nighttime endurance 🏅.

Biedrusko is a charming, smaller town, but it’s in a brilliant location – you can reach the very center of Poznań in just twenty minutes 🚗. Once you proudly cross the finish line with a glowing medal around your neck, the area invites you to spend the rest of the weekend in a fantastic way:

Palace elegance for two: While you’re in Biedrusko, be sure to see the neoclassical Albrecht von Treskow Palace surrounded by a beautiful park 🏰. A romantic stroll along the avenues in the sunshine is the perfect way to walk off tired legs.

Watery fun with the family: Head to nearby Owińska, where a modern Spatial Orientation Park awaits you, as well as the picturesque “Akwen Tropicana” bathing area with a sandy beach 🌊. It’s a perfect spot for a family picnic and relaxing by the water.

Face to face with history: Visit nearby Poznań and take a walk around Ostrów Tumski, or see the famous Poznań goats on the Old Market Square, which always guarantees great fun 🐐.

Potatoes for recovery: After such an exciting night-time grind, you need to properly top up your calories 🤔! Be sure to try traditional Greater Poland pyry with gzik (potatoes with fluffy, well-seasoned quark), or taste duck with dumplings and red cabbage, which after the run tastes like a culinary Olympic medal.

Switch on your headlamp, bring a great mood with you, and let yourself be carried away by this magical night … 🌲 See you at the start!
