18th PKO Three Mounds’ Run

The International Open Kraków Fell Running Championship is an event which the first edition was organized in 2007. Participants have to overcome a 13-kilometre route between the three Kraków mounds – Krakus, Kościuszko and Piłsudski.

Almost 1/4 of the run follows paths with unpaved surfaces. The difference in altitude reaches 160 m. Due to the diversity of terrain, the race has been classified as “Anglo-Saxon” in the international classification, in which the route leads once up and down, as opposed to the “Alpine” races, where the route is mostly only climbing.  

Along the entire route, the participants can see that Kraków offers not only monuments and modern infrastructure but also charming landscapes and nature. Interestingly, it is the only mountain race in Poland that leads through the centre of a large city.

18th PKO Three Mounds’ Run will be held on Sptember 21, 2025.
