The three-day long celebration of running
will start with the Night Run (10 kilometres)
on Friday, 13th of May. On Saturday (14th of
May) the following events will be organised:
Piotr Gładki Mini CracoviaMarathon (4,2
kilometres) and Cracovia Inline SkatingMar-
athon (full marathon distance). Both those
events were first organised during the 5th
edition of the Cracovia Marathon in 2006.
Mini CracoviaMarathon is commemorating
the winner of the 4th edition of the event,
who was the first (and only) Polish runner
to ever win the race. Two weeks later he died
in tragic car accident.
On the day before the main competition,
several shorter distance runs will be organ-
ised, aimed at families. Many attractions and
activities will await the participants and the
fans, including sporting activities for children.
On Sunday, 15th of May, disabled athletes
in wheelchairs will also set off to compete
in the 15th PZU Cracovia Marathon. Every
year, the largest group of athletes in Poland
competing in the Hand Bike, Rim Push and
Active Wheelchair categories comes to the
Krakow marathon.
