Grand Prix Pionek w biegach
Grand Prix Pionek w biegach is a four-race running series held in Pionki, structured around the seasons: Spring Run, Summer Run, Autumn Run, and Winter Run. Each race covers 10 km, consisting of two 5 km loops, with the start and finish located next to the Nadleśnictwo Kozienice building on ul. Partyzantów. POSiR Pionki is the organizer, and the Spring Run marks the beginning of the Grand Prix. The course crosses forest terrain. A separate 5 km walk or march option is available for recreational participation, without affecting the official standings. Participants are categorized into women’s and men’s age groups ranging from 16-25 to 56+. To qualify for the final Grand Prix classification, participants must complete at least three races, one of which must be the Winter Run. The recently revived series attracted several dozen participants for the Spring Run, including the mayor of Pionki and the POSiR director. Medals, hot tea, warm refreshments, cups, and sports-equipment vouchers contributed to the local club-event atmosphere.
