Each participant received a starter package with a T-shirt, a commemorative medal for completing the run and the opportunity to enjoy barbecue dishes. The organisers also took care of attractions for children. The most important ones were: a 1 km run, a large inflatable slide and a prize draw. It is worth noting that as many as 45 brave runners completed the run of children.
The main run took place in Łagiewniki Forest, on quite a demanding route, the distance of which was about 5 km. Of 165 contestants Mariusz Janicki was the first one to complete the run, whereas Małgorzata Zagdańska was the first one among women. As last year, the classification included women and men in the open, employee and student categories. All persons who took a place on the podium also received modest material prizes.
The most frequent opinion of the participants of the run was: "... such an event should have a permanent place in the calendar and it should be organised periodically!". The organisational success would certainly not have been possible without a battle-hardened team. Thanks are due to: Renata Olender-Bartosik from the Science Centre, prof. dr hab.
