T
he Marathon, organised since
2002 is one of the most popular
running events in Poland. It is also
the event which brings the biggest
number of international participants, who
every year come to Krakow to compete.
So far, the Cracovia Marathon has seen
participants from 55 countries.
The Sports Infrastructure Management
Board of Krakow is the originator of the
most prestigious award for the marathon
runners –
the Crown of Polish Marathons
.
In order to receive the title and the crown,
a runner has to finish five marathons: Dębno
Marathon, Cracovia Marathon, Wroclaw
Marathon, Warsaw Marathon and Poznan
Marathon within 24 months, starting from
the date of the first completed run. The num-
ber of people who were awarded the Crown
of PolishMarathons medal is still increasing,
and in December 2015 there were almost
6000 runners, who have completed this
daunting challenge.
The competition on the 42 195 me-
tre route will yet again be the conclusion
of the Krakow Runners’ Meeting series.
