Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to locate the start/finish line between the Gordalina water tram stop and the Wyspiarz bar, and to allow time for parking or public transport.

- Ensure you have registered online and printed your unique parkrun barcode beforehand; this is essential for receiving your official time.
- Consider the public transport options or carpooling to minimize environmental impact and ease parking congestion, especially on a holiday.
- After completing the run, join fellow participants for a warm-up with tea or coffee at a nearby cafe to socialize and share your holiday cheer.
