Maraton Fundacji DASZRADE im. Barbary Karaczyńskiej w Opaleniu nad Wisłą

The DASZRADE Foundation Marathon and Half Marathon is a charity running event in Opalenie, a village in Poland’s Pomorskie region on Kociewie. It offers three road distances: a marathon, a half marathon, and a 10 km race. The event is organized by the Fundacja DASZRADE im. Barbary Karaczyńskiej together with the "Zapowiednik" Addiction Treatment Center in Opalenie, and the race supports people helped by the foundation as they work through addiction recovery. The marathon route has PZLA certification and runs through local fields and forests around Opalenie. The race emphasizes facing fear, weakness, pain, and personal limits. Residents of the treatment center have participated in the marathon experience, including Matylda, who finished despite a severe crisis around the 24th kilometer. For the organizers, the marathon mirrors the daily work at Zapowiednik: getting through one hard stretch at a time in pursuit of a sober life.
