Sportowa Przystań in Gdynia is now open. This is a place where runners can leave their children under the care of qualified animators during their training sessions. The facility operates on weekdays at the location on Świętojańska Street 139.
Poland is at the bottom of Europe in terms of women’s activity levels, and we would like to create a situation where half of the participants in the PKO Gdynia Half Marathon are women. We understand that daily professional and family responsibilities, including childcare, can be a barrier to engaging in regular physical activity. That’s why we want to help all interested women in the simplest way possible—by freeing up their time for running. Michał Drelich, Director of the PKO Gdynia Half Marathon
The Gdynia Sportowa Przystań officially opened on January 7. The facility operates from Monday to Friday, between 16:00 and 20:00. An animator is present at all times, and children have access to numerous toys, books, and coloring materials.

Sportowa Przystań will operate on a pilot basis until the end of April 2025. However, the organizers of the PKO Gdynia Half Marathon do not rule out extending this period. Much will depend on the level of interest in the project.
