II Bieg Pamięci Tomasza Wasilewskiego - biegi dla dzieci 2026

This children's race at Stawy Jana in Łódź is part of the Bieg Pamięci Tomasza Wasilewskiego, a memorial run organized by Fundacja Wespół. It is intended for young runners associated with Łódź schools, with teachers and parents also participating. The event commemorates Tomasz Wasilewski, a teacher, senator, and activist who championed Polish education. He resisted Russification in Łódź schools, promoted the Polish language and identity in classrooms, and was killed in Las Łagiewnicki during the Nazi occupation. The organizers connect his legacy with the history of ZNP, the Polish Teachers' Union, making the children's races both a local school-community gathering and an act of remembrance.
