City Trail Poznan Styczen 2026

CITY TRAIL Poznań is a winter 5 km trail race held on the paths surrounding Lake Rusałka, starting at 11:00. It belongs to the CITY TRAIL series, one of Poland’s largest cross-country running circuits, with Poznań typically hosting four local 5 km races each season. The format is a timed off-road run with no participant limit and a short distance suitable for winter training or as an introductory race. The route consists of loops around the lake using forest paths and dirt roads, described by organizers as easy rather than technical. The participants are varied: beginners, club runners, active locals, and fast athletes all compete in the same 5 km, making the race an introduction to trail running or a challenging training session. CITY TRAIL has been held in Poznań since 2010, and the Rusałka location provides the local event with a distinct character without complicating the course.
