Course de la Chaussette Colorée

In Rzeszów, runners and walkers don the Course de la Chaussette Colorée, a road race marking World Down Syndrome Day. The event prioritizes public solidarity over personal bests, offering routes suitable for running, jogging, or a family stroll. The start location varies between Rzeszów’s Market Square and the boulevards, ensuring proximity to the city center and the Wisłok riverside. The sock tradition directly references the Down syndrome awareness theme, and the post-race tasting of proziak, a traditional Subcarpathian flat cake, adds a distinct local Rzeszów flavor to the day.
