Grand Prix de Cracovie en Courses de Montagne - Grande Ouverture 2026

The Grande Ouverture of the Grand Prix de Cracovie en Courses de Montagne is a mountain-running series in Krakow’s Wolski Forest. The start and finish are traditionally set near Krakow Zoo. It offers runners several ways into the event, from short 1.5 km, 3 km, and 5 km options to longer 11 km and 23 km races. The setting is key: this is Krakow away from the flat Vistula Boulevards, using the wooded, hilly ground west of the city center. The series is described locally as a cult one. The range of distances makes it open to beginners, faster short-course runners, and people who want a tougher forest run in the same place.
