Maniacka Dziesiątka (Maniac's Ten)

Route of Maniacka Dziesiątka

In 2011 the race will take for the 7th time. It may be not the most interesting race on this distance but it is help conveniently in mid March, approximately week before halfmarathon in Warsaw and 2 weeks before halfmarathin in Poznan so it is a good opportunity to get the feeling how it feels when one participates in an official race :) 

As it happens it also will be the first official race in my life.

The race used to be small and cosy - in the first edition in 2005 the finishing line crossed just 362 runners. It may be still small but unfortunately it's not cosy anymore.

Start in 2006

I couldn't find statistics for 2010 but in 2009 there were 1280 participants. This year I have registered quite early but already have year I have number: 1976

Oh, the fee is 40 PLN (roughly 9GBP), from 15th March it increases to 70 PLN.
