“MADNESS RACE” REGULATION

THE AIM

The greatest pleasure in life is the ability to overcome obstacles in order to achieve own goals, both emotionally and physically. Therefore, we invite you to challenge yourself – to test your physical and emotional strength in a 4km or 8km distance.

We believe that it can be done by any of us!
