Its full name, “Jestem patriotą, biegam nie piję” — “I’m a patriot, I run, I don’t drink” — conveys a clear community message: mark the national holiday with sport rather than alcohol. The field is modest, with over 100 runners, giving it the feel of a local gathering rather than a crowded big-city race.
