The race will start at a unique and recognizable location in the region – the historic Marian Sanctuary at Pólko in Bralin. Situated on a hill, surrounded by mature trees, the sanctuary creates a picturesque and solemn setting that will immerse participants in the atmosphere of a communal run and solidarity with the Wings for Life cause.

After the start of the race, the route continues along a paved road towards Mnichowice, offering gentle gradients and a wide view of farmland and the rural landscapes of southern Greater Poland. This section allows runners to find their rhythm in peace.

The route then heads towards Działosze, also on paved road, passing typical buildings and open spaces. This is a comfortable and clear section of the route – ideal for both beginners and more ambitious participants.

The surface changes as you enter Chojęcin, where the road turns to gravel. This is a beautiful section, running through a peaceful, rural setting, with views of the fields. The gravel surface continues at the beginning of the section leading back to Bralin, giving the route a natural, slightly off-road character while remaining stable and comfortable for running.

Completing the loop towards the hill below Pólko, runners will once again see the sanctuary towering over the surrounding area – giving the return a symbolic and motivating dimension. Each subsequent loop is a chance to feel the power of running together before catching up with the Catcher Car participants.
