Citi in Poland has become the title partner of the first race in Olsztyn featuring a route that runs through the city's main streets, passing the Olsztyn Town Hall and the High Gate. The start and finish lines for this unique event will be located on the shores of Lake Ukiel.

One loop, one city, zero boredom

This year’s edition takes place on August 29, with participants competing in two distances: 5 km (the "Afternoon Five," starting at 6:00 PM) and 10 km (the "Evening Ten," starting at 7:00 PM).

10 KM ROUTE – SUNSET RUN – starts at 7:00 PM from the CRS Ukiel beach and heads into the heart of the city. The route runs through the Grunwaldzka district, then climbs toward the City Center. It continues through Podgrodzie, loops back via Grunwaldzka, and heads straight to the finish line at the CRS Ukiel beach, where a finisher zone featuring lighting effects and various attractions awaits.

5 KM ROUTE - starts at 6:00 PM, also from CRS Ukiel. The 5 km route runs within the main 10 km course. It is fast, straightforward, and PZLA-certified—perfect as a warm-up or as a goal in itself!
