The 8th Carrot Half Marathon in the Zielonki Municipality

The Carrot Half Marathon is a running event promoting an active, healthy lifestyle for runners of all ages.
It owes its quite peculiar name to the orange vegetable, which was a popular crop here in Zielonki, commonly sold by the local farmers on Kraków’s markets.
The Carrot Half Marathon is more than just the main event – a 21.6-kilometre race. It also features shorter races, as well as Nordic walking events. The routes follow along local roads, among the picturesque fields of the local uplands. The races for children will be held on and around the LKS Zieleńczanka stadium.
All participants will receive a commemorative medal, a T-shirt and a nutrition voucher. What is more, all the race numbers are also raffle tickets. The runners will be able to eat peeled and sliced vegetables – carrots and kohlrabi, drink carrot juice and enjoy carrot soup to their heart’s content.
The winners in the full half marathon will receive certificates, a financial prize and cups (or statuettes) awarded in two categories for men and women. At the end, there will be a raffle for additional prizes and vouchers among all the runners. Throughout the day, the even area will host the Open Day of the Centre for Culture, Promotion and Recreation in Zielonki, where the attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the offering of activities for children, youth and adults in the 2022/2023 season.
