Run with Joy

If you’re looking for a race that blends family-friendly vibes with a fast course, the “Joyful Run” in the Wawer district of Warsaw is made for you 🏃. You’ll be able to choose between distances of 5 km or 10 km, tracing the energy of Radość’s streets, including Patriotów and Mozaikowa. It’s the perfect opportunity to smash your personal best: the course is flat, and the encouragement from residents at their doorsteps will give you wings every kilometer 🏁. Plus, the event is charitable: every year, the proceeds from the race bibs support children from Polsat Foundation. Each step thus concretely helps others 💛.

After crossing the finish line, traditionally located near the Toyota Radość dealership, the surroundings are full of great spots to recover:

Hop over to the Sodium Inhaler in Millennium Park, or head to the nearby Międzylesie Spa to loosen up your muscles after a hard effort 🌊.

If you’re more into active recovery, wander through the Mazovian Landscape Park. Its dunes and pine forests are the perfect spot to recharge your batteries 🌲.

Stroll the streets of Radość and Anin to admire the wooden architecture characteristic of this corner of Warsaw 🏠.

Discover the legendary Café-Cine Stacja Falenica

For a well-deserved reward, head to the local little restaurants. Opt for a generous plate of pyzy with bacon or a hearty serving of Italian pasta to refuel your glycogen stores 🍝.

In short, it’s a race that, as its name suggests, will leave you with a huge grin on your face once you cross the line! 🏆
