INFORMATION PORTAL OF THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE OF THE KUJAWSKO-POMORSKIE Region IN TORUŃ

The sports countdown to the World Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26 has engaged residents from across the entire region. There are 9 days left until the most important athletics event of the season.

So far, our relay has visited 41 towns, sports clubs, schools, and local communities, showing how diverse sport is in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region. Yesterday (10 March) we met in Sępólno Krajeńskie, and today (11 March) we will meet in Dobrzyń nad Wisłą in the Lipno County.

“I would like to thank all residents, athletes, coaches, schools, clubs, and local communities for their active participation in our relay. Every meeting, every symbolically passed baton, and every form of activity contributes to a coherent story about a region that is responsible, active, and consciously cares for the health of its residents. It is thanks to your engagement that sport in our region shows its strength and diversity,” emphasizes Marshal Piotr Całbecki.

“I already invite everyone to cheer together – both at the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Arena Toruń and in the fan zone at Toruń’s Nowomiejski Market Square. Together we are creating these championships!”

50 Relays of Kujawsko-Pomorskie is a series of events organized during the fifty days leading up to the World Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26.

As part of the initiative, training sessions, tournaments, and sports activities were held in 24 disciplines. These included the most popular ones such as athletics, volleyball, football, futsal, handball, basketball, canoeing, boxing, and field hockey, as well as boccia, winter swimming, floorball, table tennis, badminton, judo, skiing, and chess. Fitness activities were also very popular, including kangoo jumps workouts, general fitness training, and gymnastics classes.

Each meeting provided an opportunity for shared physical activity, community integration, and the promotion of an active lifestyle. The initiative involved athletes from local clubs as well as amateurs, children and young people, entire families, and seniors.

The relay baton, symbolically passed between 50 municipalities, will cover 6,100 kilometers. Photos from all the stops—attended by a total of 5,000 participants—will be displayed on 20 March, the opening day of the championships, on boards placed along Queen Jadwiga Street in Toruń (from Empik to the fan zone).
