Saturday marked by youth and the Czaniecka Five<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From 4:30 PM, the stadium was taken over by the youngest runners. The Junior Energa Gda\u0144sk Marathon attracted hundreds of children and young people (ages 3-15). Although their faces showed their focus and ambition, the result was secondary. The goal was to promote sports and instill healthy habits among youngsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday evening belonged to the sprinters, who tackled the 5-kilometer distance. The fight for victory in the Czaniecka Pi\u0105tka race lasted until the final meters, and the differences among the leaders were minimal. Ultimately, the fastest was Mateusz Jankowski<\/strong>, who completed the course in an impressive time of 16:03. In the women's 5 km competition, fans witnessed an incredible spectacle. The final triumph was decided by a sprint finish at the Polsat Plus Arena. The Gda\u0144sk woman proved to be the fastest. Agnieszka Kujach<\/strong>, who overtook with a time of 18:08 Natalia Krupi\u0144ska<\/strong> just the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Royal distance in a new version<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday's marathon started promptly at 9:00 a.m. Participants traversed a modernized, even smoother, PZLA-certified route. Runners admired Gda\u0144sk icons: the Shakespeare Theatre, the Baltic Philharmonic, the new footbridge over O\u0142owianka, and the extended section along the beach and Ergo Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marathon winner, Arkadiusz Gardzielewski:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n "It was a really enjoyable run. First of all, the weather was great today \u2013 it was perfect for racing. Ten degrees and practically no wind are conditions runners love because they're conducive to fast running. And everyone loves to feel that speed. The fans also did a great job \u2013 no one stood idly by along the course, everyone cheered and applauded enthusiastically, which carried us to the finish line.".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Marathon winner, Aneta Jarosz Karwowska<\/strong>, shared her impressions of the tour in a somewhat poetic style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n "To paraphrase the poet's words: I reached beyond the eye's reach! Along the route, I was surprised by the Old Town and that famous cobblestone\u2014commonly known to us as the "tank." Normally, I feel like the queen of the asphalt, and when the road is straight, I simply flow, but when the going gets rough, that sporting thrill and the worry about the stability of my stride kick in. But it's these moments that build the character of this marathon.".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Marathon Relays: Fight to the Last Meters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The marathon relay race was a thrilling affair, with seconds deciding the winner. The fastest team in the 8th Energa Gda\u0144sk Marathon was FIGA TEAM<\/strong>, who, after an extremely even fight, crossed the finish line with a time of 2:40:49. The victory was won by: Pawe\u0142 Weber, Tomasz Chmielewski, Kostiantyn Pyshniak <\/strong>i Paul Koziel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fight for gold went on until the very end \u2013 just 26 seconds later the team crossed the finish line Endure Team (\u0141ukasz Bejm, \u0141ukasz Sosnowski, Przemys\u0142aw Golus, Aleksander Bartnicki)<\/strong>, finishing the competition with a result of 2:41:15. The podium was completed by the team Banach Coach \u2013 Gda\u0144sk<\/strong>, who, despite a fantastic first leg (the fastest opening of the relay), finished the race with a time of 2:44:22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gda\u0144sk focuses on community<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year's edition was record-breaking in terms of diversity. Nearly 2,500 runners from 49 countries, including relay teams, reached the finish line. Among them were over 900 runners who were making their debut at the Gda\u0144sk Marathon over this epic distance. Furthermore, more women participated in the 50% race than last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 It's beautiful how much energy participants can share \u2013 the mutual support is incredible. Starting at the heart of the "amber arena," Polsat Plus Arena Gda\u0144sk, further enhances this power. I'm pleased that the second edition after the break attracted even more runners. I believe we're on the right track to rebuilding the prestige of the Gda\u0144sk Marathon. The route is unique, passing symbols of the city, including the Shipyard, the European Solidarity Centre, and the Neptune Fountain. Although runners admit that the numerous hills make it challenging, it's these details that build its character. <\/em>\u2013 she noted Aleksandra Dulkiewicz<\/strong>, Mayor of Gda\u0144sk<\/strong>, who also served as the honorary starter of the marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adam Greczy\u0142o<\/strong>, director of the Energa Gda\u0144sk Marathon, summed up the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 My priority was the safety of the participants, and I'm incredibly satisfied that we executed the plan 100%. All services operated flawlessly, and the new features on the route, such as bypassing the bottlenecks at the Shipyard, were met with praise from the runners. The sight of thousands of smiling people at the finish line of the Polsat Plus Arena Gda\u0144sk is the greatest reward for the entire Energy Events team. Gda\u0144sk has once again proven its ability to organize top-notch events.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Results of the Energa Gda\u0144sk Marathon 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Men in the open category<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women in the open category<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marathon relay results<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Czanieck Five<\/p>\n\n\n\n Men<\/p>\n\n\n\n Women<\/p>\n\n\n\n All results are available on the website: <\/a>https:\/\/live.sts-timing.pl\/mg2026\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Media contact: Tysi\u0105ce biegaczy z blisko 50 kraj\u00f3w, widowiskowa trasa prowadz\u0105ca przez ikony architektury i niespotykana dot\u0105d liczba debiutant\u00f3w \u2013 8. edycja Energa Gda\u0144sk Maratonu przesz\u0142a do historii jako \u015bwi\u0119to wolno\u015bci, sportu i rodzinnej aktywno\u015bci.
