Semi-marathon Hunters de Grodzisk « Słowak »

Grodzisk's Hunters Half Marathon “Slovak” is a true celebration of running that each year transforms Grodzisk Wielkopolski into Poland’s running capital. It’s one of Poland’s most well-known “half marathons,” famed for the incredible support from locals: nearly every house along the course brings out its supporters, cheering runners on as if it were the Tour de France! 📢 The name comes from the Juliusz Słowacki High School Juliusz Słowacki, and the race’s history goes back to when it was a small school event before becoming a national gathering attracting thousands of participants ✨. A fast, certified course and a unique atmosphere mean that every year many runners set personal bests there.

Once you cross the finish line at the stadium and collect your well-deserved medal, Grodzisk Wielkopolski (less than an hour from Poznań) offers ideal conditions for recovery 🏰:

The Old Market Square and Town Hall: a perfect spot for couples wanting a quiet stroll after the race. The historic square is lively, and charming cafés let you unwind over coffee and pastries ☕.

Municipal Park: expansive green spaces in the town center that are perfect for families with kids: you can rest on the grass or stroll along the paths, recharging your legs in the shade of the trees 🌳.

Regional Museum: if you want to learn more about the history of this unique town and the region’s traditions, it’s worth a visit: a short and engaging local-history lesson for everyone 🏛️.

Grodzisk is famous for producing grodziskie beer: a light, noble drink (also available in non-alcoholic version, perfect after the race!) and a local symbol you simply must taste, sitting on a terrace 🍺. After 21 kilometers, the body needs energy: local inns serve delicious crispy potato pancakes to revive any half-marathoner 🥔!
