About me

My name is Marcin Świerc and I come from a small town Lisowice in Silesia Province. I have been running since 2002. I graduated from the Faculty of Physical Education and Physiotherapy in Opole and obtained Level II Certification in sports coaching. Self-coached for a few years I am glad to share with others my rich experience, gained during multiple sports competitions. My specialization is a mountain run, especially Ultra and SkyRace. I won the first Polish National Championship in long distance mountain running and the first Polish National Championship in SkyRace.

My adventure with mountain running started in 2007. Since then, I have been named to a national team – my dream to run in my country’s colours came true. I was an international for Poland during European Championship and World Championship; thanks to which, I could broaden my sports experience through competition in different parts of the world. I aspire to achieve new goals and rise to challenges. 2011 was a year of my debut both in Mountain Marathons and Ultra. Together with Piotrek Hercog, I won the cult 80-kilometer-long Bieg Rzeźnika (the Butcher’s Race) in the Bieszczady Mountains; what is more, I broke the race record.
