11 Poznan Marathon

We are very pleased to announce that the 9th Poznań Marathon was the 2008 Sport Oscar winner in the category of "Mass sports event".
On 25 March 2009 at 12:00 p.m. a gala was held in the Senate of the Republic of Poland, during which Gminess Sport Oscars were presented. The ceremony was inaugurated by the Vice Speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, professor Marek Ziółkowski.

Sport, recreation, tourism and sponsoring activity conducted by local government units in 2008 was honoured by as many as fourteen Sport Oscar prizes. The awards were presented by Olympic, World and European Championship medallists.

The Sport Oscar was collected by Ewa Bąk – the Director of the Physical Culture Department in the Municipal Office of Poznań, who received the prize from Leszek Blanik (an Olympian, gymnast, and the Advocate of the Contest).

The Vice Speaker of the Senate, Marek Ziółkowski, who exercises an honorary patronage over the contest emphasised that first of all the event has a social dimension. It activates circles of "little homelands" as well as presents and propagates the accomplishments achieved by members of local governments, organisers, managers, sportsmen and natural persons in broadly conceived sport, tourism and recreation.

Once again we would like to thank all competitors for participating in the race, as it is thanks to you that the Poznań marathon could compete for the Sport Oscar in this very category and as a result achieved this honour, which is extremely important to us.

Taking this opportunity, we invite you to take part in the jubilee edition of the 10th Poznań Marathon.
