WALK 40 km At NIGHT

ALONE or in a group

focused

AND BECOME

A BEAUTIFUL PERSON

IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO EWC...

1. IT WILL BE FAR AWAY

Extreme - more and further than usual. Leave your well known, secure zone.

5. FOOD

You should take food and drink with you. As much, as you need.

ARE YOU IN DOUBT? THEN READ:
Where did the EWC come from?

It was established in 2009 in the environment of the polish catholic priest Jacek Wiosna Stryczek. The idea was a response to the crisis of masculinity and the crisis of consumerism. EWC does not pamper, but it requires. It suggests going beyond your own limits.

40 km means that it should be far away. At night, be out of your comfort zone (e.g. sleep). Alone or focused, because it's time for your own thoughts. It has proved to be working.

How many people were at the EWC?

In 2019, there were nearly 100,000. Mainly in Poland, but also in dozens of countries around the world.

EWC is one of the fastest growing religious movements in the world.

How to experience EWC well?

The most important is the desire to change. The night route is just a tool. This is a time to focus, to be alone.

Contemplations on the Stations of the Cross are an inspiration for reflection over your life. Silence is obligatory.

Should I go alone or with someone?

EWC is a personal experience. It is not a pilgrimage, nor an overnight adventure. You can go alone.

You can go with two or more people. However it should be agreed that silence is obligatory during the route.

How to prepare to EWC?

On the EWC website and in the mobile application you can find and choose a route for yourself. Usually it is route in area where you live, but it doesn't have to. On the way, you can follow the GPS track using your phone. So take an extra power bank, in case if your phone get low battery. It is also good to print a description of the route and take a map of the area. You should take food and drink with you. Just as much, as you need. Taking a headlight with you and extra batteries is also a good idea.

Safety on the way

You should take care of your own safety. The rules are similar to those on hiking trails.

You can go with someone. It's a good idea to make an appointment with someone that you know for possible telephone contact during the night, if you would need help or assistance.

‍

What does extreme mean?

It means that route is long and demanding. 40 kilometers, maybe more. Or 30 kilometers and 500 m elevation gain. If that's not enough, you can even more. However always keep in mind that this is not a sport, but a spiritual event.

‍

What to do when 40 kilometers is too far?

EWC is not for everybody. Same as a marathon. Always train to give more. If someone sets off to a route and gets out of strength, he can leave the route and go back home.

‍

What is the purpose of the night trip?

To become a beautiful person. This kind of person that other people want to spend time with. EWC is breaking through schemes and standards. It allows you to change yourself and your life.

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

Ekstremalna, bo trzeba pokonać trasę minimum 40 km w nocy. Samotnie lub w skupieniu. Bez rozmów i pikników. Musi boleć, byś opuścił swoją strefę komfortu i powiedział Bogu: jestem tutaj nie dlatego, że masz coś dla mnie zrobić, jestem, bo chcę się z Tobą spotkać.

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION

EWC responds to a basic problem for many people. Some people are not satisfied with thier lives. Even though they are afraid to change - they do not want to loose what they have. They have their own comfort zone, in the middle of which there are a lot of unresolved problems. However, when a person crosses these borders once, during EWC, he can believe that he is able to change his own life.

Rules of the Extreme Way of the Cross
  1. The EWC means walking 40 km at night, alone or focused.
  2. There are also 30 km routes, however these ones have a corresponding amount of elevation gain.
  3. We encourage you to make sacrifices, but of course everyone can decide to go home early. We respect every person who takes up the EWC challenge.
  4. There are many events which are meant to pamper people. EWC is different from them: it does not pamper you, it sets demands on you. It's not on human measure, but it helps people to exceed their own limitations.
  5. Reflection is required on the way. There must be no conversations, picnics and facilitations.
  6. The purpose of taking up the EWC challenge is to change for the better. The current motto of EWC is: "Walk 40 km at night and become a beautiful person."
  7. EWC is not measured only by the effort made - we expect fruit, change for the better. A beautiful person is one with whom it is better to live.
  8. We encourage you to take up the challenge that Jesus gave us: For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it (Matthew 16:25).

jAK TO SIĘ ROBI?

1

WYZWANIE


W tym wyzwaniu najważniejsze jest dotarcie do granicy bólu. Do momentu, w którym wszystko inne mówi: czemu nie jestem w domu, w ciepłym łóżku. Ten, kto przekracza tę granicę opuszcza strefę komfortu. Otwiera się na nowe wyzwania. A to daje szansę na kolejne decyzję o zmianie życia.

O EDK


Drugi etap – wyzwanie podjęte, pierwsze setki metrów, kilka kilometrów już za Tobą.Jest normalnie, po prostu idziesz, co jakiś czas kolejna stacja, krótka modlitwa – tekst rozważań czytany w świetle czołówki, jeśli aura sprzyja, nie grzęźniesz w błocie lub kałuży, jest całkiem w porządku, nic wielkiego – na razie zwykły marsz.

3

ZMAGANIE


Może zacząć się na dowolnym kilometrze trasy, tu nie ma reguły, może minąć lub zostać do końca — raczej zostanie. I dobrze, bo zmaganie jest istotą EDK. To droga poza strefę komfortu. Możesz go różnie doświadczyć: bolące stopy, brak sił, zimny deszcz na twarzy. Kiedy już od wyczerpania i zmęczenia nie można uciec, właśnie wtedy możesz odkryć, że to wiara jest powodem i siłą żeby iść dalej.

SPOTKANIE Z NIM

Tylko o to chodzi w EDK. Milczenie, modlitwa, medytacja, długa nocna trasa, to wszystko „tylko” po to, nie ma innego celu.Dublin, Galway, Warszawa, Spitsbergen – miejsce i wielkość grupy nie są istotne. Celem Ekstremalnej Drogi Krzyżowej jest spotkanie z Bogiem. Ekstremalna Droga Krzyżowa to prawdziwe ćwiczenie duchowe, po którym człowiek może zostać rzeczywiście przemieniony.
