The first day of the Energa Gda\u0144sk Marathon 2026 is behind us! Saturday, April 18th, proved that running in the "City of Freedom" is a sport for absolutely everyone \u2013 from one-year-olds to triathletes seeking fitness in a fast five-kilometer race. The Polsat Plus Arena Gda\u0144sk stadium became the heart of the sporting excitement, which will continue until tomorrow's finale of the royal distance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Day: Not just results, but also healthy habits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 4:30 PM, the stadium was taken over by the youngest runners. Hundreds of children and young people (ages 3-15) participated in the 200-, 500-, and 1000-meter races. Although their faces showed immense concentration and ambition, the result was secondary in these races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea was to instill good health habits in children from a young age and show them that sport is fun. Natalia Czaniecka<\/strong>, whose 9-year-old twins have been accompanying their parents to competitions for years: "The kids see it, soak it up, and start to get the hang of it themselves. This makes the logistics a lot easier for us because we don't have to convince them to do anything\u2014they just follow our example and get started."<\/em>. The young runner built his athletic confidence today by running to the same professional finish line as the adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czaniecka Pi\u0105tka: From pasta production to sports personal bests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening belonged to the participants of the Czaniecka Pi\u0105tka (Czaniecka Five). This race allows you to experience the atmosphere of a great marathon in a nutshell. The starting line included the "positive freaks" from Czaniecki Makaron, led by its owners, for whom sport and business are interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patryk Czaniecki<\/strong>, who recently "broke" 3:15 in the marathon in Barcelona, this time chose the 5 km distance to wisely dose the load before triathlon starts. \u2013 Sport is incredibly mentally stimulating, which translates into more peaceful work. During training, you can think about many things, work through problems in your head, and then return to the office with a fresh perspective.<\/em> \u2013 he emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Czaniecki family, participating in the Gda\u0144sk race was a natural choice. As pasta producers (using 300,000 eggs a day!), they know best that without good carb loading, results are impossible. \u2013 Pasta is the best meal before a race. We perfectly matched our industry to our passions.<\/em> \u2013 adds Natalia Czaniecka with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A route full of symbols and history<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday's runs were the perfect way to warm up the atmosphere. As the event director notes, Adam Greczy\u0142o<\/strong>, this year's marathon is not only a sport, but also a history lesson: \u2013 Each element refers to outstanding Gda\u0144sk citizens, and their values are linked to zones on the route<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere at Polsat Plus Arena, the joint warm-up with Zdrofit and the finish inside the "amber" stadium made Czaniecka Pi\u0105tka the most beautiful moment of the season for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fastest juniors and 5km runners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we celebrated the health of our juniors and their speed in the 5k. Among the children, the fastest runners were Julia Wlaz\u0142o (:39) and Leon Kot\u0142owski (:41) in the 200m, Maciej Jaros (1:51) and Nadia Wasiluk (1:59) in the 500m, and Jakub Kurowski (3:35) and Helena Nowicka (4:09) in the 1000m. The Czaniecka Five culminated in a competitive finish, with Mateusz Jankowski (16:03) the fastest man and Agnieszka Kujach (18:10) the fastest woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
