Wolf Half Marathon 2026

Get ready for a run with real bite! Wolf Half Marathon in the village of Wilcza is an event that will steal the heart of every lover of nature, trail running, and intimate races with an incredible atmosphere. Forget the big-city hustle and breathing in exhaust fumes – here it’s you, your pace, and the forest wilderness that rule! The race in Wilcza is famous for teaching respect for the forest, and at the finish line everyone feels like a full-fledged member of the pack.

Once you’ve washed off the forest dust and proudly hung the distinctive medal around your neck (often featuring a wolf motif!), the area around Wilcza and the Pilchowice municipality offers great spots for some peaceful rest:

St. Nicholas Wooden Church in Wilcza: A true gem of 18th-century sacred architecture, located on the Wooden Architecture Route. After an intense run, it’s worth taking a look at this beautiful historic site, which radiates an incredible sense of calm ⛪.

Pilchowice and its palace: The neighboring village hides a 19th-century palace-and-park complex. Although the building itself serves medical purposes, the old park surrounding it is a great place for a quiet, restorative walk among centuries-old trees 🌳.

A well-deserved "Wolf Feast": the race in Wilcza is renowned for its excellent, home-style food zone at the finish. Traditional pea soup from a cauldron, a thick slice of bread with lard and a pickled cucumber, or homemade cake taste after 21 kilometers in the forest like the finest dishes from a Michelin-starred restaurant 🍞🥒.

Close to Gliwice: If after the run you start longing for civilization, the iconic Gliwice Radio Tower (the tallest wooden structure in Europe) and the bustling Gliwice Market Square are only a dozen or so kilometers away – the perfect place for an evening celebration of your success 🗼.

Wolf Half Marathon is an event where a passion for running blends with wild nature. Here you’ll feel the call of the wild, face your own weaknesses, and spend a day among people who, just like you, love the forest and freedom … ✨ See you on the forest trails in Wilcza! Woof! 🏁🐺
