Pietrasze cross country 2026

This is the first of five cross-country running and Nordic walking events held in the Pietrasze Forest in Białystok. The single course is 7,830 meters long and consists entirely of natural terrain, including forest floor, grass, sand, mud, puddles, and multiple hills. The competition features two parallel categories: running and Nordic walking. The overall series standings are determined by the sum of a participant's four best times from the five races; a minimum of four races must be completed to be eligible for the series classification. A team classification is also available, with teams of three competing for the lowest combined time. Electronic timing chips will be used, and results will be published within 24 hours. The entry fee for a single race is 40 PLN, and a season pass for all five races costs 200 PLN. Online registration closes when 200 participants have paid, but late registration may be available at the race office if space permits. There is no age limit. All participants will receive donuts and hot tea at the finish line. Those who complete at least four races will receive a commemorative medal.
