Sobania
Extreme runner.
Author. Speaker.
I overcome impossible routes and translate my travel experiences into stories that inspire people to take action.
Made in
Who am I?
My name is Tomasz Sobania, although some people know me as #PolskiForrestGump – because every year I set off on another, really long route.
I have run from Poland to Rome, Barcelona and Greece, as well as 5,250 kilometers across the United States – from the east coast to the west coast.
Each of these journeys begins with a sporting dream, but it doesn't end at the finish line. I want my projects to inspire others to take action, draw attention to important initiatives, and help publicize charity fundraising efforts.
I'm pleased to welcome you to my website. Here you'll learn more about my story, my journeys to date, and the projects I still have ahead of me.

MY PATH TO 50/50/50
For years, I've been choosing routes that require not only physical fitness but also consistency, resilience, and character. Each subsequent project has been a step further for me—athletically, mentally, and personally.
50/50/50 doesn't start today.
This is the result of the entire road that I have been building for years.
