Solidarity Marathon

If you want to run through all the most significant monuments in Tricity in one day, the Solidarity Marathon (Maraton Solidarności) is just for you. It's also one of the biggest running events in Poland. This one commemorates Solidarity movement and Poland's way to conquer communism regime. The competitors, as always, will start their race at the Monument of the Victims of December 1970 in Gdynia and run through the most important streets of the three cities. The finish line is at the other side of the metropolis, in Długi Targ Street, Gdańsk. There's no better way to feel the spirit of the city like sweating in the crowd in the middle of the summer. But seriously, the idea of the event is glorious. More information on: www.maratongdansk.pl.
