Jurarun 5+ 2026

JuraRun 5+ is the shortest race at the JuraRun Festival in Podlesice, located in the heart of the Krakow-Czestochowa Jura. This 5 km trail run features timing and has a 600-runner limit, with a 1 hour 30 minute cut-off. It is suitable for beginners and runners seeking a brief off-road challenge. The festival itself includes nine events: seven running distances ranging from 5 km to 102 km, a 10 km Nordic Walking event, and children's races. The 5 km route crosses forest paths, meadows, and dirt roads, including approximately 180 m of elevation gain despite its "very easy" classification. Participants receive a start number. Mandatory equipment includes a timing chip, phone, cup or bottle, and whistle. Preparation similar to longer routes is advised, with a GPS track, small pack, water, windproof jacket, and hat or neck warmer recommended. Finishers are awarded a medal, and all events provide a commemorative gift. The finish area offers recovery food, children's activities, opportunities for interaction, and spectator space.
