On October 3, Gdańsk will once again run to help. Ahead of us is the 9th PÓŁNOCNY POMAGA Charity Run. All proceeds from entry fees and donations will be allocated to the reconstruction of the Hospice of Father Eugeniusz Dutkiewicz SAC in Gdańsk.

The event is organized by Erste Bank Polska S.A. (formerly Santander Bank) and the Erste Bank Polska S.A. Ignacy Jan Paderewski Foundation. Olivia Centre once again supports this initiative, and just like in previous years, the run will start right here! Participants will set off from our resident’s headquarters at 11:00 AM. In other words, from NetWork Spot Erste Bank Polska at al. Grunwaldzka 472. The finish line will be at Plac Zebrań Ludowych, near the Oliwa Gate.

This is an event where the result takes a back seat. The distance of 7.4 km can be covered by running or power walking, at your own pace, and those who cannot be in Gdańsk can also join virtually, from anywhere in the world.

PÓŁNOCNY POMAGA is taking place for the ninth time. Since 2018, 12,979 people have participated, and a total of PLN 632,206 has been donated to the Hospice Foundation. Thanks to this support, it has been possible, among other things, to help build the Respite Care Centre and support the ongoing, vital activities of the Hospice of Father Eugeniusz Dutkiewicz SAC. This year, the common goal is to raise funds for the reconstruction of the hospice.

• The run will take place on October 3, 2026.
• The entry fee for adults is PLN 60.
• Children and youth up to 18 years of age can participate free of charge.
• Registration for the stationary run is open until September 30, and for the virtual run until October 2.

You don’t have to break records. You can run, walk, or join virtually. The common goal is the most important thing. Join the 9th PÓŁNOCNY POMAGA Charity Run and cover 7.4 km for the Gdańsk hospice!
