Stanislaw Byczek - RIP


It's sad to hear about the recent passing of Stan Byczek who was very much part of the Cork running scene for many years.

It was with great sadness that Carrigtwohill AC received the news that Stanislaw Byczek passed away on Easter Sunday in his native Poland.  His funeral was held yesterday.  We extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Stan’s family and friends.

Stan grew up in KrakΓ³w.  In his younger years, he did a lot of kayaking but running became his life passion.  Along with a friend, Stan set up the KB Dystans KrakΓ³w Runners’ Club at the turn of the century.  It was on his initiative that the Marzanna Half Marathon was set up.  It is still held annually, over 20 years later.
