The initiative is a joint project by Polish Radio, Polish Television and the Polish Press Agency, which have already launched a website with the details of the action and an application form.

Its address is www.biegstulecia.pl; bieg stulecia meaning centenary run. Its distance will be 11 kilometres, a reference to Poland’s Independence Day which falls on 11 November.

The centenary of Polish independence is also going to be celebrated in the Himayalas. Over 500 people have already declared their participation in a trekking expedition to the base camp at the foot of Mount Everest.

A supermarathon over a distance of 100 kilometres is also planned in Warsaw on 11 November 2018. (mk/nh/rk)
