Marzanna’s Duet

Two races. One classification. Double the challenge.

Two races, one combined classification, double the challenge and double the satisfaction. A total of 27 kilometres to conquer in a single day, and two medals at the finish line.

As part of the 22nd Kraków Half Marathon of Marzanna and the 11th Kraków Distance Run “For Little Hearts” at 5 km, we are launching a combined classification – Marzanna’s Duet.

Classification rules

To be classified in Marzanna’s Duet, you must:

  • start in the 5 km race,
  • start in the half marathon,
  • complete both races.

Your position in the classification is determined by the combined times of both distances. The highest-placed participant will be the one with the best total time. This competition rewards pace, endurance and a well-thought-out strategy for the entire race day.

This is a challenge for participants who want to experience the race day twice – starting with a dynamic 5 km, then taking on the half marathon distance.

Organisational information

When planning to take part in both races, make sure to account for the time needed to travel between locations, recover, hydrate, eat and prepare for the second start. Proper pacing strategy is crucial in this challenge.

Awards and recognition

Every participant who completes both races will receive two medals and be included in the historic Marzanna’s Duet classification. In addition, those registered for both distances will receive a unique Marzanna gift, available for collection at the race office.

We are not planning a separate awards ceremony for this classification – because everyone who takes on the 27 km challenge in a single day is a winner.

Virtual Marzanna’s Duet

For participants taking part in the online format, we have prepared the Virtual Marzanna’s Duet. The rules remain the same: two distances, combined times and one shared results list. Every participant who takes on this challenge in the virtual format will also receive an additional gift.

Two races. One transformation. One shared result.

Registration is available HERE.
