Bieg Św. Jana z Dukli 2026

The Bieg Sw. Jana z Dukli is a running event held in Dukla, Poland, starting in the afternoon at the MOSiR Dukla sports facility. The primary race covers 15 km with 550 meters of elevation gain, offering a challenging climb that feels like a mountain effort despite its relatively short distance, with an average gradient of 4%. A 5 km option is available for a shorter race, and this distance also accommodates Nordic Walking. The race honors Saint John of Dukla, connecting it to the town's identity. While the 15 km field is modest compared to large urban races, with one edition recording 74 finishers, the pace at the front is brisk. The winning male time was just over 1 hour 8 minutes, and the top female finisher completed the course in a little over 1 hour 15 minutes. It is important to note that this is not a flat road race; the climb is the defining characteristic, and the shorter option provides a less demanding local challenge.
