Running across the port area during the 3rd Independence Run Szczecin 2020

Marta Kufel

This year’s 3rd Independence Run will be a real treat to those who love both running and discovering places which are not usually accessible. With the route having just been announced, the competition will take runners across the port area.
The route has been slightly modified and may come as a bit of a surprise. First of all, the start and finishing lines have been relocated, and the this year’s run will begin and end near the Szczecin Cranosaurs. The runners’ village and the competition office will also be arranged nearby.
Runners taking part in the 3rd Independence Run Szczecin 2020 will be expected to cover a distance of 5 km. They will first run across the Szczecin boulevards towards the Port Administration on Gdynia Boulevard. Then, they will run back towards the North East Marina on Grodzka Island, pass by the yacht port building and run along Tadeusza Wendy Street towards the Gryf Logistic Centre. They will then run across the Bulgarian quay, and eventually return to the Szczecin Cranosaurs via Tadeusza Wendy Street. Once they reach the Paprykarz Szczeciński monument, which can hardly be passed by unnoticed, there will be a surprise waiting for them. Finally, when leaving the port area, the competitors will once again encircle the marina on Grodzka Island.
The competition will be divided into two runs, up to 250 competitors each. The first run will begin at 10.00 am, and the second at 2.00 pm. 100 starting kits are also available for those who practise Nordic walking. They will be expected to cover the same route as the runners, and their competition will start at 11.00 am. Every competitor reporting at the finish line will get a commemorative medal.
The sales of starting kits will continue through 5 November. The registration fee if PLN 65 for those who sign up by 16 October, and then PLN 80. The starting kit includes a special T-shirt and the starting number. The cost of the commemorative medal is also included in the registration fee.
