Hi,

Im hoping to move to Kraków shortly, in fact ill be there on thursday, but im currently training for the Dublin City Marathon and running about 35-40 miles a week at the moment, just wondering does anybody out there know any good running routes around/through the city? Or is there any athletics club in Kraków that i could join.

Im in the lucky position of living out in the country at the moment in Ireland and im surrounded by hills, it doesnt sound too brilliant but they provide fantastic marathon training.

I would appreciate any info :)

G'day mate,

After spending some time in Krakow I would have to say that running around 35-40 miles constantly in or through the city is a tough task. I'm from Australia, so keeping fit is always on the agenda - however, when I started going for 'jogs' in the Nowa Huta area of Krakow, I never saw anyone else running. But I did find an athletics track close by which allowed me to constantly run for as long as I wanted. In my opinion running through the city would be a bad idea as the air quality is very polluted, and some roads are pretty narrow, so the maniacs on the roads won't think twice about hitting someone in their way :)

I'd recommend you finding a park or school/sports club in whatever area you are staying in. The countryside outside of Krakow is pretty cool also, maybe similar to what you have now in Ireland. If you really wanna go gung-ho then try the tatra mountain area's where the air is very clean and you'll get the best training possible! But thats a bit far off from Krakow.
