As many as 1085 players took part in the jubilee edition of the event organized by the Military Runner Club Meta Lubliniec, and the Cyberspace defence Army Command squad won the team.
On the way – with the start and finish in the Training and Leisure Centre “Kokotek” of the Hufc Association of Polish Scouting in Lublin – as many as 1085 daredevils set off on the last day of winter. The 10th 100 Commandos had 5 20-kilometre rounds to beat. The first 40 km, according to the rules of the event, had to run in a field uniform, and additionally the first circular with a backpack weighing at least 10 kg. It was only after they ran a distance akin to the marathon that they could change into a sports outfit.
Magical barriers
The players who fought to take seats on the podium set themselves the goal of beating 100 km in little than 9 hours. Others moved the boundaries to 10 hours, and most of the people on the road just wanted to get to the finish line and give themselves a chance to finish this year. Grand Slam of Commandosa cycle of 5 gears. 1 of them – Semi-marathon of Commandos in Warsaw, has already ended, and three: Quarter-marathon of Commandos in Słupsk, Run for the Knife of Commandos and the Marathon of Commandos in Ljubljana – will be held.
Fr Adam David of 20 The Bartoshite Mechanized Brigade, winner of the X Hundreds of Commandos, very small was missing to break the magic barrier of 9 hours. This has only worked erstwhile so far, in 2019, erstwhile Mł. Chor. Artur Pelo over 100 km in 8 hours 34 min. 16 pp. David ran 9 hours 1 min. 50 pp. I want I could've broken those 9 hours. But I think that possibly next year will win – says the winner. A year ago, in his debut in Setka Komandosa, he beat the way in 12 hours 18 min 26 pp.
Using last year's experience representing 20 BZ this year's first 20 km with a backpack run slower, for the next 20 km he accelerated a bit and fought for higher placements in sports outfit. The corporal stuck to the plan and did not “fire” erstwhile the rivals sharply moved distant from the launch. I was wondering if they could keep moving at that rate to the end. From 54 or 55 kilometres I jumped to 3rd place – the corporal says.
– Later, at 60 km, I learned that I have 3 minutes of failure to the leading plut. Maciej Dutkiewicz, so I moved a small harder, for 72 km I overtook him and led him to the very end – the officer reports. The runner this year intends to finish the Grand Slam of Commandos for the first time and take a advanced place in it.
Also spit. Dutkiewicz from Mazovia Military Gendarmerie Branch rod Last year's second consecutive victory in Setka Commandosa, he aimed at the Jubilee edition at a score of little than 9 hours. To fulfill his plan he rapidly defeated the first circular with a backpack – in 1 hr 40 min 18 p. The another 1 was over six minutes ahead of him. The second circular besides ran the fastest – in 1 hr 47 min 58 p. On the 3rd loop, respective rivals achieved better times than the gendarme, but thanks to the advantage gained on the first 2 wheels, after 60 km he continued to lead.
“wall” appears
However, its pace began to fall and erstwhile the spit. Dutkiewicz was passed by Deputy Commander David, last year's triumphant run was incapable to keep pace with him. – He flew like a torpedo – he says with a grin spit. Dutkiewicz, who yet finished third. Mł. chor. Pelo, four-time winner of the Hundreds of Commandos (in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021), who followed on the net on a regular basis the results of the rivalry noted that the gendarme had defeated the first 2 rounds besides rapidly and it took revenge.
– It's hard not to admit it. Ultra runs frequently start besides fast. Unfortunately, it later comes to revenge, at 60, 70, 80 kilometers, the alleged “wall” and the legs do not want to work anymore," says Fr David. As he says, he managed to beat the first 40 km a small more calmly and with that adequate strength for the further route.
But spit. Dutkiewicz failed to win for the 3rd time in a row. I don't mean to make excuses, but they were better than me this year. I finished this run only due to my large ambition – explains the officer. He adds that after the Half Marathon, Commandos did not full deal with wellness problems. “But even if I had dealt with myself, I don’t think I would have been able to handle this year’s winner, who impressed me with his form,” the platoon said.
For the second time in Setka Kommanosa was besides launched by Lieutenant-Rez. Krzysztof Wilmont from the Naval Training Centre. In the debut 7 years ago, he finished 4th with a time of 10 hours 20 min 27 pp. This year he wanted to break the barrier of 10 hours and with a score of 9 hours 24 min 16 s secured a second place and a chance of advanced position in the final classification of WSZK. I planned to stay behind the lead and yet get ahead of him. Unfortunately, the leader was besides strong and for about 10 km I started to let him go – the officer says.
He adds that he besides failed to keep up with 2 more rivals and ran in 4th position. It turned out that specified a strategy paid off and yet had the strength to overtake rivals and take second place. A barrier of 10 hours apart from the players from the podium managed to break 2 more starting: the 4th at the finish line of st. chor. staff. Sebastian Grabarczyk of the 2nd Bomber Battalion in Stargard and 5th – Captain Rafał Gregorczyk of the Cyberspace defence Army Command. Ensign competed for the 3rd time in Setka Komandosa, while Captain Gregorczyk made his debut in this run.
Wonder Women
In women's rivalry, the goal of the best players was to complete the run in little than 12 hours. 4 ladies made it. Triumphed St. Claudio Kubish of the Military Recruitment Center in Brzeg. Debuting last year at the Commandos Set, she beat the tour in 12 hours 12 minutes 12 seconds and finished second. This year, she improved her score by more than 50 minutes. I went through the first ellipse as shortly as I could. The second 1 in uniform calmly, and the next 3 tried to run as hard as possible – the winner at the finish line betrayed.
Passing rivals on the tour, she didn't know which place she was taking. She just ran into the last circular and found out she was the first. On social media about her triumph, WCR colleagues wrote: “Wonder female not only did not leave a chance for rivals, but besides many men had to admit her superiority on tour. Your determination, stubbornness, and legendary self-denial is simply a lesson to us that the impossible does not exist... Congratulations. You are our pride.”

The second place was taken by the squad of 20 Bartoszycka Zmechanized Brigade, and the 3rd squad from the Regional Centre for Computer discipline in Gdynia.
Dreams come true
After last year's event st. chor. staff. dir. Zbigniew RosinskiDirector of Hundreds of Commandos and Honorary president WKB Meta Lubliniec, he dreamed that over a 1000 players would go on the Jubilee run. – Providing specified attendance was not hard at all, due to the fact that in September, erstwhile the records started, a 1000 people registered in 14 hours. That was the limit, but we yet allowed 1150 people to take off – the Ensign informs. However, he counted on the fact that the barrier of a 1000 runners might not fall, who would overcome the full distance. – Last year, 170 people failed. But still, 100 Commandos is the most many 100 km run in Poland – the manager adds.
His fears proved justified. The difficulty of the way did not cope with 109 runners. The finish line – in a 20-hour limit – reached 976 players, including 124 women. However, as many as 159 three-man teams were ranked among the teams. The records of a year ago have so been greatly improved. Let us remind you that the 9th Set of Commandos finished 640 players and 74 players and 127 teams.
As the honorary president of WKB Meta says, the thought for the time of the start at 10 p.m. was downloaded from the organizers of the Swiss Biel cross-country festival, in which 1 of the categories is the course of duets in the field uniform for 100 km. respective times advanced deposits were held by representatives of Meta and soldiers 1st peculiar Commandos Regiment. “We have raised the difficulty of crossing the way by 20 km with a backpack,” says Chor. Rosinski. He admits that respective years earlier, erstwhile he competed in Biel, he did not anticipate akin runs to be organized in Poland. “I didn’t even dream that we could do something like this in our country, and that we would do it,” the manager emphasizes.
