Ultrapodkarpacie

Ultrapodkarpacie is a three-day running festival in Rzeszów, held in late May as part of the Podkarpacki Festiwal Sportowy. The program includes a 4.2 km MiniMaraton Rzeszowski and children’s races, alongside trail and road distances: a 65 km ultramarathon, 42 km Maraton Podkarpacki, 21 km Półmaraton Podkarpacki, and the approximately 12 km Podkarpacka Dycha+. Additional races are the 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km Biegi Kolorowej Skarpetki, plus a Grand Prix Podkarpacia Nordic Walking event. The main ultra runs from Łańcut to Rzeszów. Other routes incorporate asphalt, gravel, and forest paths within the hilly Dynów Foothills. The organizers aim to show that Rzeszów and its surroundings provide varied running terrain beyond flat city courses, with the more challenging routes testing climbing ability and speed. Race support includes aid stations, electronic timing, and a race office in PODIUM Town near the Multimedia Fountain. Stowarzyszenie PODIUM - Ultra Styl Życia organizes the event, with Paweł Hanulak, founder of PODIUM, serving as the main organizer.
