Course de la Sainte-Barbe

It's time to dive deep and show that your form is pure gold, right in the heart of Rybnik! The St. Barbara Run is a tradition where every kilometer tastes like a hard-earned success, and the mining atmosphere only quickens the pace. Here, you'll find a 10 km, perfect for a quick energy boost in the Izera Mountains. Show that you have a battle-ready heart and a form as tough as the mines' coal⛏️.

Once you cross the finish line, Rybnik and its surroundings have a lot to offer, so don’t rush straight home:

Visit the Ignacy Historical Mine in the Niewiadom district, a true gem of industrial architecture: strolling among the old extraction machines is impressive and lets you feel the underground work atmosphere🏗️.

Take your friends to the Rybnik Market Square, where after the race you can indulge in a delicious dessert at one of the charming cafes and admire the town hall, which looks like a fairy tale at night☕.

If you crave a peaceful moment in nature, head to the Rudy Park, where a magnificent monastic complex awaits — the perfect spot to regroup after a demanding workout🌳.

Absolutely try the traditional Silesian roulade with kluski, the regional culinary crown that will rally any runner after a tough effort🍖.

Remember that Rybnik is just a stone's throw from Gliwice and Żory, so you have a whole range of other attractions at your fingertips! So, will you be lining up at the start line of this unique race🏃?
