The Bieg Mikołajkowy z Nadzieją takes participants into Dolina Wapienicy in Bielsko-Biała, starting at Parking Leśny on ul. Tartaczna. This St. Nicholas-themed charity race occurs during the winter holidays, featuring straightforward distances: a short children’s mini-run (60-180 meters) and main options of 2 km and 6 km.
The event supports institutions managed by the Nadzieja Foundation. The atmosphere is inclusive, allowing participants to run, walk, use poles, attend with companions, or bring a dog. Previous races demonstrate the course can be challenging; the main race is approximately 5.5 km with about 100 meters of elevation gain. One past edition shifted mostly online, requiring participants to complete 6 km independently and submit proof via a watch or app to earn a medal.
