Course de Charité « De l'Amour pour la Santé »

Charity Run “From Love for Health” in Tomaszów Mazowiecki (often also called the prevention picnic) is a unique event organized by the NU-MED Foundation in collaboration with local partners. It’s not just a sporting competition, but above all a large campaign promoting cancer prevention and a healthy lifestyle 🤝. Participants usually have a choice between two main distances: a main 5 km run (with professional timing) and a recreational run of about 2 km, which families often join, sometimes with strollers or pets 💨. The event also features free medical consultations, preventive screenings, and lots of activities for kids, with funds raised from registration fees supporting cancer patients ✨.

After you’ve collected your commemorative medal and regained your strength, Tomaszów Mazowiecki—located a little over an hour from Łódź and Warsaw—offers amazing spots for a relaxing afternoon 🏰:

Blue Springs Nature Reserve: A true gem of the region. An ideal spot for couples who want to stroll among crystal-clear waters and the songs of rare birds 🐦.

Pilica River Skansen: Located right at the springs, it’s the first river skansen in Poland. Families with kids will love seeing the historic water mill or military vehicles pulled from the river bed 🚜.

Nagórzyce Caves: An underground tourist route in an old quartz sand mine. The coolness of the caves and the fascinating legends of bandits make for a great adventure for any explorer 🔦.

Ice Arena: If you’re looking to cool off after the run, Poland’s first year-round skating rink is worth a visit. You can take an active break there or simply admire the building’s modern architecture ⛸️.

Żurek from Tomaszów with white sausage: In local inns, don’t miss trying a hearty homemade żurek – the perfect restorative meal to recharge after the race 🥣!
