Maraton Forestier de Kwidzyn

Are you looking for a running challenge that lets you escape the urban hustle and test your limits in pristine nature? The Kwidzyn Forest Marathon is an event crafted for off-road and forest trail runners 🐗. As its name suggests, the centerpiece is the marathon distance (42.195 km), but organizers also cater to runners who prefer shorter feats by offering a demanding half marathon (21 km). Kwidzyn is a charming little town, easily and quickly accessible from larger nearby cities like Grudziądz or Tczew 🚗!

When, with forest mud on your shoes and immense pride in your step, you cross the finish line, the weekend isn’t over yet. The surroundings offer plenty of fantastic ways to spend the afternoon with family or your significant other 😉 :

Admire the Kwidzyn Castle : This monumental Gothic fortress is renowned for having the world’s largest latrine tower (gdanisko), connected to the castle by an impressive arched bridge 🏛️.

Relax in the Liwski Forest Nature Reserve : If after the marathon your eyes still crave green, this beautiful forest complex right beside Kwidzyn is perfect for a peaceful stroll 🌿.

Visit the Miłosna Recreation Areas : An historic stud farm era site, it’s a superb spot for a family outing, to admire stunning architecture and get up close with the animals 🐴.

Taste the Kociewie ruchacz: After burning a gigantic amount of calories, you must try the local specialty: traditional, fluffy yeast doughnuts fried in a pan, served in a sweet version 🥞.

Answer the call of the wild, lace up your trail shoes, and run toward your own success in Kwidzyn!
