Bieg do Słońca 2026

Bieg do Słońca is a short mountain race in Lipnica Wielka, on the Polish side of Babia Góra. The listed race name is Bieg Zachodzącego Słońca na Babią Górę, and the start is set for 17:00, meaning runners begin in late afternoon. It is only 4.7 km long, but the climb is the focus: the route gains 850 m before the finish. The field is capped at 100 runners, making it a small, controlled event. Runners start at Polana Stańcowa in Lipnica Wielka, beside the shelter housing the race office and packet pickup. The finish is on Diablak, the highest summit of Babia Góra, so the race is a steep push from a mountain clearing to the top of the massif. The time limit is 2 hours, keeping the event focused on participants ready for a serious uphill effort. Final route details require approval from Babiogórski National Park, indicating the race uses protected mountain terrain.
