Our operators fight in the word (of sport)

     On Saturday, October 8th, 2022, the 26th annual "RUN FOR COMMANDO KNIFE" cross-country race took place at our Polish neighbors in Lubliniec - Posmyk. The run was held under the patronage of General Włodzimierz Potasiński, the first commander of the Polish Special Operations Forces (SOF).

     The Slovak SOF was represented in a difficult cross-country race by two professional soldiers from the 5th Special Forces Regiment, while one of them took an excellent 104th place in a wide field of competitors.

     The mass start comprised approximately eight hundred participants from the military forces of Poland, Slovakia and Italy. The race started at 12 o'clock and the profile of the fifteen kilometer course was challenging, not only because of the hilly terrain and a combination of asphalt, forest road and sand, but also because of the requirement to run in uniform. The length of the track this year changed from the traditional ten kilometers to a symbolic fifteen because of the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Polish Special Forces.
