Pieniny Ultra Trail: what is it?

Pieniny Ultra Trail (PUT) is a mountain running festival held annually in Szczawnica. The event had its first edition in 2013, initiated by three enthusiasts who decided to create something unique – an event with soul, atmosphere, and values. Since then, the initiative has grown with each edition and today is one of the largest and most popular mountain running events in Poland.

PUT includes six routes – from 10 km to 95 km. Each is a different challenge, but also a unique experience. For the youngest there is Mini Pieniny Ultra Trail, which opens the world of running to children and youth. All this takes place in beautiful natural surroundings with an atmosphere that cannot be felt at any other running event.

Who can participate in the Pieniny Ultra Trail event?

The mountain run in the Pieniny Mountains is an activity for everyone who loves movement, mountains, and good energy. You can participate regardless of your experience level. At PUT you will find your place whether you have run ultramarathons before or are just beginning your adventure with mountain running. The event attracts enthusiasts – from amateurs, through experienced athletes, to children and youth. Everyone can motivate, inspire, and learn from each other!

It is not just a race, but an entire community where everyone feels important. Participants include people returning to activity after illness, young running adepts, and the elite of mountain runners. They are united by one thing: the desire to experience more than just competition.

Running routes in the Pieniny Mountains – places worth visiting!

The Pieniny Mountains are an ideal place for running. On one hand, technically demanding ascents and descents; on the other, breathtaking panoramas that make you want to go out into the terrain. Each route prepared as part of PUT leads through places worth seeing at least once in a lifetime. These include:

• Przehyba – one of the highest peaks in the Beskid Sądecki, offering a wide view of the Tatras and Pieniny. The ascents here require strength, but the reward is beautiful, wild landscapes;
• Durbaszka – a picturesque, gentle ridge in the Małe Pieniny, perfect for getting into running rhythm. Running here lets you enjoy views of Trzy Korony and surrounding valleys;
• Sokolica – the icon of Pieniny with its characteristic solitary pine on the summit and views of the Dunajec Gorge. Getting here is a “running classic” – steep, technical, but with unforgettable emotions;
• Wysoki Wierch – a vast peak with a 360-degree panorama that rewards every effort. Running along its ridge is pure pleasure – there are beautiful rolling paths. Runners can admire mountain peaks around;
• Palenica – a mountain just above the center of Szczawnica, combining an urban start with a truly mountain run. Although not high, its slopes can surprise with intensity, and the view from the top motivates further running.

The routes have been selected to provide not only sports excitement but also incredible experiences. Running here is pure pleasure, and at the same time a great way to build endurance and strength.

Running in the Pieniny Mountains – caring for health with beautiful views in the background

The Pieniny Mountains provide something difficult to find in other regions – a combination of spa climate with physical activity and beautiful views. Running in this region promotes health care. You can enjoy:

• clean air,
• varied terrain,
• natural surfaces that promote safety during running.

The infrastructure of Szczawnica itself is friendly to active people. You will find plenty of places where you can spend time exactly as you like: from walking trails to places with wellness treatments. In our facility, you can use, for example, the hotel swimming pool.

PUT organizers have long cared about education and promoting responsible running – in the spirit of fair play, ecology, and with an emphasis on supporting charity causes. The event we are honored to sponsor is more than just a run – it is a lifestyle.
