Registration for the Polish Post Virtual Run has started
For the first time in its history, Poczta Polska is organizing a nationwide, open running project called the Virtual Polish Post Run . This unique event will not only be a perfect way to celebrate the 462nd birthday of Poczta Polska and the 500th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Sigismund II Augustus, but also an opportunity to support the beneficiaries of the Pocztowy Dar Foundation.
How will this race differ from traditional ones? You decide where and when to run (hopefully between October 10th and 18th, 2020). You decide whether to run in the morning, at noon, or in the evening. The pace of the run is also entirely up to you! You don't have to worry about time limits, because there aren't any. You can run the chosen distance as fast as you can, and you can have fun while running.
Date and Place of the Race
The competition will run from October 10th to 18th, 2020. As you've probably noticed, this is a VIRTUAL event, so you can run literally anywhere! Of course, provided you take your GPS and internet connection into account. Participants decide when they want to run (hopefully between October 10th and 18th). They decide whether they run in the morning, at noon, or in the evening. The pace of the run is also entirely up to the runner! There are no time limits, so don't worry. You can run your chosen distance as fast as you can, and you can even have fun while running. Simple, right?
What we have to offer:
The 2km Run – sponsored by Envelo – is a perfect race for beginners or those who want to race… really race. Note: There is no age limit for the 2km run, making it a perfect option for children or those who have previously shied away from sports.
5K Run – under the patronage of Bank Pocztowy . A perfect distance for everyone, both beginners and experienced runners.
The 10k race is for slightly more advanced runners. There will likely be some newcomers to this distance in this group as well – if you're one of them, bring something to drink and don't start too fast!
The Triad Run – a real treat for those who love a challenge! Are you up for it? Great! Remember, you must complete each distance: 2 km + 5 km + 10 km on three different days, between October 10th and 18th. You don't have to run consecutive days.
A run with a message
By participating in this unique race, everyone will be able to combine a sporting challenge with a charitable cause, which can be a great reason to get motivated and get off the couch. Participants in the Virtual Poczta Run will lend a helping hand to young athletes from small towns. Both the funds raised from voluntary donations and 5 PLN from every starter pack sold will be donated to the Pocztowy Dar Foundation and will help small sports clubs survive the difficult times of the pandemic.
The Polish Post Virtual Run is an initiative of Poczta Polska, in which the following companies from the Capital Group also joined: Bank Pocztowy , Envelo , Pocztowa Agencja Usług Finansowych and Ubezpieczenia Pocztowe .
