Elbląski Bieg Piekarczyka 2026

Elbląski Bieg Piekarczyka is a street running event held in Elbląg, located in Poland's Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The primary race covers 10 km, with a 5 km alternative available, catering to runners aiming for a fast time and those seeking a shorter city race. The event also features children's races, known as Biegi Piekarczy, expanding the day beyond just the adult competition. The course is a flat asphalt route through Elbląg's streets, with the 10 km race typically involving two laps. It is designed as a fast, well-monitored course, making it suitable for personal-best attempts. The race's name originates from a local legend about a baker's apprentice who, using a baker's peel, severed the ropes of a city gate to defend the town. This imbues the race with a piece of Elbląg's history that participants connect with during the run.
