Distance
Terrain
Podbieg na Makowicę is an 8 kilometre uphill race staged in Rytro, a village in the Beskid Sądecki mountains of southern Poland. The 2026 edition, the thirteenth running of the event, takes place on Saturday 3 October. Runners climb away from the Poprad valley towards the Makowica summit rather than covering a flat city loop, so the day is shaped by sustained climbing and by early autumn mountain weather. Entries are handled through the Dostartu registration platform, and the organiser's website carries the final route, start time and race day information.

Other questions
The name of the race means the uphill run to Makowica, so the day is built around climbing rather than a flat loop. Expect forest tracks and mountain paths in the Beskids, with a sustained ascent and a descent back towards the valley.
Mountain weather in the Beskids can change quickly in early October, with rain, wind and cold mornings all possible. The organiser publishes any weather-related decisions on the event website, so check before you travel.
