Sport Festival in the Heart of the Tuchola Forest
The Wielonek Trail Festival is behind us — a celebration of sport, nature, and community in the beautiful Borów Tucholskich region. Runners of all levels, families with children, and dedicated volunteers came together for an unforgettable day of trail running and outdoor adventure.
The event took place along scenic forest trails surrounding Lake Koronowo, offering participants breathtaking views of the Tuchola Forest — one of the largest forest complexes in Poland. Routes ranged from family-friendly 5 km walks to challenging 20 km trail runs, ensuring everyone could take part regardless of fitness level.
Fundacja Fabryka Radości organized this festival as part of its broader mission to promote active lifestyles, strengthen community bonds, and bring joy to the region. Volunteers from the foundation were present at every checkpoint, cheering on participants and providing refreshments, first aid support, and warm encouragement.
Children had their own dedicated zone with fun activities, obstacle courses, and games designed to spark a love of movement and the outdoors from an early age. Local schools and sports clubs participated enthusiastically, making it a true community celebration.
The atmosphere was electric — filled with laughter, determination, and a shared sense of achievement. Many participants crossed the finish line hand-in-hand with friends or family members, embodying the spirit of the event perfectly.
We are grateful to all the runners, volunteers, sponsors, and local authorities who made this festival possible. The Wielonek Trail Festival is growing year by year, and we look forward to making the next edition even bigger and more joyful. Stay tuned for registration details for 2027!

It validates our belief that sport, joy, and community can be powerful forces for positive change.
The Festival of Sporting Events in the Tuchola Forest encompasses multiple events throughout the year, including the Wielonek Triathlon Challenge, the Trail Festival, and various community running events. Each event is designed to be inclusive, welcoming participants of all ages and abilities.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Voivode's office for this recognition, and to all our partners, sponsors, volunteers, and participants who have helped build these events into what they are today.

New Goals and a Shared Future with Lubiewo Municipality
Fundacja Fabryka Radości is proud to announce a strengthened and deepened cooperation with the Lubiewo Municipality. Following a series of productive meetings with local officials and community leaders, both parties have set ambitious new goals to expand our shared impact and bring even more joy to the residents of the region.
Lubiewo Municipality has been a key partner of the foundation since our earliest days. Together, we have organized community events, supported families in need, and created spaces for children and young people to thrive. This renewed partnership builds on that strong foundation and charts an exciting course for the future.
Among the new goals agreed upon are the expansion of our community aid programs to reach more families in remote rural areas, the development of new youth sports initiatives in local schools, and the creation of regular community gathering events that celebrate the unique culture and spirit of the Tuchola Forest region.
The municipality has committed to providing logistical support and access to community facilities, while the foundation will bring its expertise in event organization, volunteer coordination, and community engagement. This complementary partnership is a model for how local government and civil society can work together effectively.
We are particularly excited about plans to establish a permanent community sports and recreation area in Lubiewo, which will provide residents with year-round access to outdoor activities and serve as a hub for foundation events.
We believe that strong local partnerships are the backbone of meaningful community change. We are grateful to the Mayor of Lubiewo and the entire municipal team for their openness, enthusiasm, and shared vision of a joyful, active, and connected community. The best is yet to come!
