GRANICA 2027 - zimowy patrol

Step into the footsteps of Polish border guards on January 16, 2027, for an unforgettable 20-kilometer trek through picturesque countryside along the historic state boundary. This unique race offers runners a rare glimpse into Poland’s past as they traverse paths once patrolled by vigilant soldiers and later by customs officers from Bartnica Guard Station.
The route winds through scenic landscapes marked by historical landmarks such as the charming "Kamyki" quarry, the commemorative "Call of Adventure" memorial tablet, and the iconic Tripansky Kamen – a 1732 boundary stone. Along the way, participants will encounter five checkpoints where former border guards validate their journey with special stamps in personalized race passports.
At these stations, you’ll also experience firsthand what it was like to serve on patrol as runners are "debriefed" by those who once guarded this stretch of land. The event culminates at a support base offering hearty winter soups and multimedia presentations showcasing the guard station’s final years through photos and videos from that era.
In addition, participants can engage in laser shooting with former border guards on a specially set-up range. This race is not just about running; it's an immersive journey into history, culture, and community spirit along one of Poland’s most significant historical routes.
Join this unique event to explore the rich heritage embedded within every step of your run.
