SUPPORT:
As you all know, everything at parkrun is free.😍 The entire event is made possible by the power of the community💪, but your support is incredibly important to us. We'd be grateful if you could bring water (in 1.5-liter bottles), cookies, candies, bars, or even tea bags from your area. While such help may seem small, it has a huge impact on our ability to support future events. Thank you for EVERY support, even the smallest!🥰
HOW TO REACH US (JUST ENTER "parkrun Zielony Jar" or "park Zielony Jar" INTO ANY SEARCH ENGINE!!!)?:
It is very simple. The easiest way is to install the app(s):

Android -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citynav.jakdojade.pl.android&hl=pl&gl=US
Apple -> https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/jakdojade-rozk%C5%82ady-jazdy/id506795511?l=pl or...

Android -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citymapper.app.release
Apple -> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/citymapper-all-live-transit/id469463298 or...
- ...or you can just use Google Maps (it'll work too).
- TAXI:
Bolt, Uber (Bolt is cheaper!)[£5-8 (one way)]: (destination: TAXI stop at Primary School No. 98 or the back of the post office is the closest starting point)(in Polish: Osiedle Na Stoku 3, Kraków) -> http://tinyurl.com/zielonyjar (TAXI stop) or https://maps.app.goo.gl/ngtvLbWWf4r5NuBr7 (the back of the post office)
- TRAM:
Line no 1 or no 5 (final stop: Jarzębiny)[£1.2 (one way)]
- BUS:
Line no. 182 (final stop: Architektów)(if you are staying near the main train station)[£1.2 (one way)]
Walking route: Bus stop ("Architektów")(line number 182) -> Zielony Jar parkrun: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=294794429663184 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhZuA6kY3FE
P.S. Tickets can be purchased in any app or directly on the tram/bus (in new rolling stock).
PARKING:
Did you arrive by your own car/rented one? You can find a free space:
- at the Biedronka store (os. Na Stoku 53) -> https://maps.app.goo.gl/WPj7mtcw6A9j6Mms7
- at the Grębałów Cemetery (next to the main entrance at ul. Kocmyrzowska) -> https://maps.app.goo.gl/QSYE8CpP8ZDpvMt89
- in the entire estate near the park [but it's better to arrive (8:30) earlier, because parking may take you some time]
TOILETS/SHOWERS/STORAGE FOR PERSONAL ITEMS:
- a portable toilet is directly behind the stage, a public toilet is located 100 meters from the start (unfortunately the stationary toilet takes coins, you need to have 2PLN in one coin)
- unfortunately, there are no showers available near the park
- all your personal items can be safely left under the roof of the stage (they definitely won't get wet)
SHOES:
Don't know what shoes to wear? In 99% of cases, take road shoes with you. Trail shoes will come in handy in the snow. What will the weather be like? You can quickly check it on your weather app or here -> https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/50.095,%2020.060 What does the entire route look like? Check here -> https://youtu.be/U_XQ-T-0nCg or here -> https://youtu.be/m_U1QJi_iic
P.S. The entire route and conditions are ALWAYS discussed at the pre-meeting briefing.
DIPLOMAS/CERTIFICATES:
Would you like to receive a certificate/diploma of your milestone? You've come to the right place! :) Write to us in advance in private (email, Messenger, WhatsApp)(for non-standard certificates, e.g. 150/200/300/350/400 or Cowells🐮🐄, write a few days in advance) or, as a last resort, approach the Event Director and say that you are achieving your milestone today.
VOLUNTEERING:
Although we have never canceled a meeting, please check out our Facebook to see if we need help with the organization. Want to help by volunteering? No problem! Just let us know in advance via private message (email, Messenger, WhatsApp). If you want to be a parkwalker or tailwalker, let the Event Director know just before the start.
RUN REPORT:
We have a few requests regarding the Run Report:
- Please send the report by Tuesday (our Facebook schedule).
- In your report, please focus on your emotions, the experience you will take away from Zielony Jar🐿 instead of numbers and how you got to us and dealt with transport.
- Don't worry about anything, just write from your heart and try to transfer your emotions from that day to "paper".
- Add your 3 to 6 photos (separately).
- If you can divide your report into chapters (TRANSPORT/ROUTE/NUMBERS/PARK/ATMOSPHERE/PEOPLE/RECOMMENDATION/SUMMARY etc.)
- Please do not write the report in a text editor (for example Microsoft Word/LibreOffice etc.).
- We award the volunteer role after receiving the report.
Thank you for your understanding.
INTEGRATION:
Do you feel like integrating after meeting the crew from Zielony Jar? Eat a Polish delicacy (pierogi🥟), drink delicious Polish beer🍺? Nothing easier! Write to us (preferably before Friday) and with at least 10 people there is a good chance that the owner of the local pub (Beer & Darts Na Wzgórzach) will open the doors for us from 10 a.m. Don't have a team of 10 people? Write on our Facebook (in the comments under Wednesday/Thursday/Friday post) that you feel like integrating and invite other tourists -> We will take care of the rest.
WILL THE #XXX EDITION TAKE PLACE?
If you're asking if there will be a parkrun on March 2, 2030, then no one knows for sure, not even us.😉 We've never canceled parkrun and we don't intend to.💪 There are no events, marathons or concerts in our park🐿 so there's a small chance we'll cancel the meeting. The only thing we're afraid of is a comet hitting☄ (I hope not!🤭), trees collapsing🌳 during strong winds💨 or simply a lack of volunteers.😬 All the latest/current information is provided on our official Facebook profile -> https://www.fb.com/parkrunzielonyjar
CANCELLATION of parkrun:
Unfortunately, it happened: WE CANCELLED parkrun!😢 What to do if my goal was to get the letter "Z"🔠? Nothing easier! The nearest parkrun starting with "Z" is Zalew Łęg parkrun (Jaworzno) -> Official Facebook profile which we highly recommend (an unforgettable experience! 😍). The fastest and most convenient way to get there is by train🚂 to the "Jaworzno Szczakowa" train station, and then to the starting point by Bolt or Uber. 🚖🚕 However, if you decide that you don't have enough time, enthusiasm or it's too complicated for you, we recommend one of the three closest parkruns in Krakow and the surrounding area (Krakow, Młynówka Królewska, Puszcza Niepołomicka) -> https://www.parkrun.pl/events/#geo=10.86/50.0424/20.0559
