Bieg Czekoladowy Smak Lata Poznan 2026

Bieg Czekoladowy "Smak Lata" is a 5 km Chocolate Run in Poznań. Its summer-themed name distinguishes it from the series’ Valentine-themed edition, "Słodkie Walentynki". The event is part of the Wielkopolska running calendar and is designed for regular runners and walkers, not exclusively fast racers, with both a 5 km run and a 5 km walk offered. The series has reached double-digit editions, with "Smak Lata" being the 15th running and "Słodkie Walentynki" another recurring part of the chocolate concept. Entries can fill quickly when additional spots become available, and organizers have held contests with prizes like a SMEG refrigerator. The local running history is also relevant: race coverage connects the event to Zofia and Henryk Braun, who were pioneers of running in Wielkopolska, with Henryk being remembered as an icon for runners in the Poznań area.
