Race route
Each participant in the charity relay race and PBR Walk will cover a 4-kilometre route around Krakow's Błonia Park and Jordan Park.
The start, finish and transition zone will be located on 3 Maja Avenue, near Reymana Street.
We start the route on the promenade at Aleja 3 Maja and head towards Cichy Kącik. We then turn left and follow the pavement and cycle path along Piastowska Street until we reach Na Błoniach Street. We turn left and run along Na Błoniach Street to Focha Avenue, where we turn left again.
We then follow the pedestrian walkway along al. Focha towards the National Museum, where we turn onto al. 3 Maja. We then run along ul. Oleandry, then onto ul. Ingardena and into Jordan Park.
We leave the park through the main gate and return to Błonia. From here, we head to the CHANGE ZONE, where we pass the baton to the next runner. The final runners in the relay continue the race all the way to the FINISH LINE.
Change zone
Runners compete in teams of five, with each runner taking turns to complete the 4-kilometre course. The changeover zone is where runners pass the baton to one another before starting the next lap.
The transition zone will be located on 3 Maja Avenue, near Reymana Street.
Watch the animation explaining how to behave in the transition zone – here.
Navigating the transition zone will be made easier by your race numbers, which contain all the necessary information. Each number consists of three parts:
example: 547 A 2
547 – your team’s number
A – the designation of the pit from which your team starts
2 – information on which runner you are in your team’s order
Running village and picnic area
After the race, we invite you and your loved ones to the race village.
The programme includes attractions for adults and children, such as massages, workshops and a chill-out zone with sun loungers and beanbags. We’ve also prepared snacks, drinks, games, quizzes, competitions and many other interesting activities for young and old alike. Thanks to our partners and sponsors, most of these will be free of charge.
The village will be open until 4.00 pm.

Would you like to have something engraved on your Poland Business Run 202?6 medal?
You can use the services of GrawerBus, which will be operating at the race village. You can have any details engraved on your medal, such as your first name, surname and race time. There is a charge for the engraving – 25 zł. Runners who have purchased Charity packages are entitled to this service free of charge as part of their package.
