The Polish Fishing Association in Opole, with the support of Bioagra, carried out another restocking of Lake Nysa. This time, 50 kg of young eels were released into the reservoir. Each individual, weighing about 12 grams, was born in the depths of the Sargasso Sea, on the other side of the globe.

As in previous seasons, several hundred thousand young fish of various species will be brought to Lake Nysa this year. The current campaign is part of the activity that Bioagra has been supporting since 2009, cooperating with the Polish Fishing Association in Opole. For this purpose, the company donates PLN 14k each year

– The company has been supporting the process of stocking Lake Nysa for over a dozen years – says Mirosław Obarski from Bioagra. – Stocking allows you to create a fully-fledged aquatic ecosystem.

– In May, the so-called restocking eel entered Lake Nysa – says Jakub Roszuk, ichthyologist, director of the Polish Fishing Association (PZW) office in Opole. – These are individuals grown in artificial conditions, caught from the Atlantic Ocean, where they drift after birth in the depths of the Sargasso Sea.

The eel is one of the most fascinating and mysterious fish living in Polish water bodies. It usually lives in water, but during migrations it can even crawl on land at a speed of about 3 km/h. It can breathe through its skin and can therefore survive out of water for up to two days.

Eels undertake a one and a half year breeding journey. During this time, they migrate from inland waters to the Sargasso Sea on the other side of the Atlantic. They spawn there at a depth of up to 1 000 meters. Adults die, leaving behind eel larvae that can drift towards Europe for up to two years.

The European eel has been considered an endangered species. Since 2007, it has been protected under the Washington Convention (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora).

The latest edition of the Nysa Run was the fastest ever. Course records were broken in the men’s and women’s categories. Nearly 950 competitors took part in the race for the first time. Like never before, fans could watch the competitors crossing the finish line from the stands of the newly modernized Polonia Nysa stadium, which opened during the race.  

During this year’s edition of the Nysa Run, two course records were broken over a distance of 10 km. The competition was won by Rono Kennedy Kipkemoi (29:38) in the men’s category and Jebet Valentine (33:38) in the women’s category, both from Kenya. The first result is unique because it was only the second time in the history of the Nysa Run that a competitor completed the route in less than thirty minutes. The previous record (29:57) belonged to Arkadiusz Gardzielewski and was set in 2012. 

Attendance has definitely returned to the level from when the event was growing dynamically. There were many more people willing to run than there were starting numbers. This year, nearly 950 runners took part in the race, i.e. the most in the history of the event.

The Family Mile was once again very well attended, with nearly 750 small and big, young and older competitors taking part. This is also the most people in the history of this additional race, in which entire families often take part.

The organizers of the event are the Interschool Student Sports Club “GIM 2” from Nysa and the “W Action” Foundation.

Tomorrow (June 8, 2024) will take place the long-awaited 11th edition of the Nysa Run, proudly called one of the best-rated running events in Poland. Traditionally, Mr. Corn will appear at the starting line of the “Family Mile” and give high fives to the competitors and fans.

The main race will start at 7:00 p.m. at Hala Nysa. A novelty of this year’s edition of the event will be a slight modification of the 10-kilometer route. The finish line of the race will be at the renovated stadium next to Hala Nysa, which will be opened on that day and available for the athletes. In this way, the route will be free of the so-called “safety pin”, where competitors were making a return in previous editions of the race. Thanks to this, one of the fastest running routes in Poland – certified by the Polish Athletics Association – became even faster.

An hour before the main race, the “Family Mile” will traditionally take place. This is an additional, extremely popular run over a distance of approximately 1.6 km, addressed to entire families. There are no age restrictions and the most important thing is to have fun. Participants of the “Family Mile” will receive commemorative starting numbers.

Races for the youngest runners are another new feature this year. They will take place in the renovated stadium from 9:00 to 11:00.

Last year’s anniversary edition of the race confirmed that the Nysa event is growing in strength after the pandemic. 850 competitors participated, which was the best result in the entire history of the event. This year may be better, because there are even more people willing to run. However, not all competitors make it to the race. Much depends on the weather – not everyone feels in the right shape for running on a given day.

The reputation of the race attracts competitors from all over Poland, but also from abroad. Nearly 50 runners from the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Italy, Spain, and even Kenya, Canada and Mexico have declared their participation in this year’s event.

The 11th Nysa Run will be held with the active support of companies from Nysa and the surrounding area. Bioagra has prepared a gift for each player in the form of an ecological bag for a starter kit. As every year, the participants will also be energized by the mobilizing cheering of Mr. Corn – the official mascot of Bioagra, beloved by children.

The organizers of the event are the Interschool Student Sports Club “GIM 2” from Nysa and the “W Action” Foundation.

The 9th National Night Swimming Marathon is over. The event was again supported by Bioagra, providing participants, judges, paramedics, swimming pool employees and volunteers with a variety of regenerative snacks and drinks.

This year’s edition of the largest mass swimming event in the country took place simultaneously in several dozen swimming pools in various parts of Poland. 29 daredevils took part in the Nysa swimming pool and swam a total of over 364 km.

The event was unquestionably dominated by women, who took all the places on the podium. Nine competitors of this year’s edition swam for the entire 12 hours – from the very beginning to the end of the event. 15 people covered at least 10 km each, and 8 at least 20 km each. The title of the oldest participant went to Ewa Dytko, who swam 7,000 m, which equals 280 pool lengths. The youngest participant was Kalina Wróbel with a result of 3000 m (120 pool lengths).

The competition was organized by the Nysa Development Agency, and Bioagra again provided a variety of regenerative snacks and drinks. Mr Corn was also present to provide motivating cheering.

We congratulate the winners and participants for their fortitude and endurance. All participants deserve the Grand Cup!

So far, a total of over 15 000 people have participated in the eight editions of Otyliada and the current record is held by Sebastian Karaś, who swam 54.2 km in 2016. The name of the event refers to Otylia Jędrzejczak, a Polish swimmer, multiple Olympic champion and world record holder, who supported it from the very beginning. The unchanging slogan of the event is “All of Poland swims with us”, which reflects the goal of encouraging Poles to invest in their health through active and safe recreation.

Bioagra supported the organization of this year’s edition of the Construction Knowledge and Skills Olympiad in Nysa. The winners will represent their schools in the central finals, to which 80 students from various parts of Poland advanced.

We would like to congratulate all the participants of the Olympics for their achievements, determination and passion so far, and we wish the winners of the district stage good luck in their further competitions.

The district competition of the Construction Knowledge and Skills Olympiad took place at the Technical School Complex in Nysa. They were attended by 51 talented students from 11 construction schools from the Opole and Lower Silesian Voivodeships. 11 z nich zakwalifikowało się do finału centralnego. Among the winners was Natalia Roguła from the Technical and General School Complex. Kazimierz Gzowski in Opole, last year’s runner-up of Poland.

The district stage of the Olympics was organized in several cities across Poland. A total of 634 students from construction schools participated in it. It is worth noting that as many as 11 participants from the Opole region made it to the national final.

The Construction Knowledge and Skills Olympiad is an educational undertaking which origins date back to the 1980s. The main goal of the activity is to develop interest in construction among young people and to deepen knowledge and skills in this field. The event promotes the habit of professional development and encourages students and graduates to constantly improve their qualifications. It also develops the ability to independently acquire knowledge and enables young people to become familiar with the latest design and technological solutions in the field of construction.

The main organizer of the initiative is the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology. Bioagra supported the organization of the event and supported the struggles of the most talented students.

Bioagra co-organized the charity event “Women for Women”, during which the first football match in the history of Nysa, “Single vs. Married Ladies”, was played. Funds were also collected for a noble cause: the fight against cystic fibrosis.
