XLIV Perła Paprocan

Perła Paprocan is a marathon held around Lake Paprocany in Tychy on a 7 km loop. Participants can choose any distance by running multiples of the loop, up to a full marathon. The event is recreational and intended for training, with no need to declare a distance in advance. Every participant receives a commemorative medal at the finish. The organizers emphasize that the atmosphere and sense of community among runners matter more than competition. Tychy is the only city in Poland where a marathon is held twice a year, and Perła Paprocan is one of those editions.

Race numbers can be collected at the Irysy restaurant by Lake Paprocany in Tychy (ul. Parkowa 17) on October 23, 2026, from 14:00 to 17:00; October 24, 2026, from 10:00 to 15:00; and on race day from 8:00 to 9:30. A third party may collect a race number with written authorization. Participants under 18 must have consent from a parent or guardian. Valuables can be left in the storage area, marked with the race number.
