Opishnia Trail 2026 is a two-day trail running event that will take place on April 25–26, 2026 in the picturesque town of Opishnia, Poltava region — the capital of Ukrainian pottery.
The race combines athletic challenge, the natural landscapes of Poltava region, and the deep historical roots of the area. The trail routes pass through ancient Scythian burial mounds, forests, and meadows along the Vorskla River valley, and also cross the territory of the National Museum-Reserve of Ukrainian Pottery in Opishnia.
Clean air, historical heritage, the spirit of pottery traditions, and delicious traditional borscht — all of this creates the unique atmosphere of Opishnia Trail, attracting both experienced trail runners and newcomers.
Race distances: “Opishnia Mile” (1.6 km), 10 km, 20 km, 30 km, and 50 km trail runs, as well as 7 km Nordic walking. Each distance has participant limits and time cut-offs.
