The Bieg po choinkę „od jeziora do jeziora” takes place in Balaton, a village in Poland's Opolskie region, on Sunday 13 December 2026. Runners can choose between a 10 km race and a 5 km race, while walkers get their own 5 km nordic walking march on the same morning. The programme also includes a children's race for ages 10 to 14 and a run in Christmas fancy dress. The name translates roughly as a run for the Christmas tree, from lake to lake, and the mid-December date gives the whole day a festive, village-scale character. Entries, start times and course information are published on the organiser's registration page.

The event is scheduled for Sunday 13 December 2026 in Balaton, a village in the Opolskie region of southern Poland.
There is a 10 km race and a 5 km race for runners. A 5 km nordic walking march runs on the same day for people who prefer poles to running shoes.
The march is listed as its own category alongside the 5 km and 10 km runs. Check the organiser's page for whether the walking category is timed or judged separately.
It is a run in festive fancy dress, held as part of the same event day. It is a relaxed addition to the competitive races and is a good fit for families and first-timers.
The event is held in winter, so cold and snow are part of the deal. Any decision to shorten, postpone or cancel races in dangerous conditions would be announced by the organiser, so check their page and social channels on race morning.
