Bydgoski Bieg Urodzinowy 2026

Bydgoski Bieg Urodzinowy is a 5 km city birthday run in Bydgoszcz, Poland, organized annually by the City of Bydgoszcz. It begins at 11:00 near Nabrzeze Mieczyslawa Dutkowskiego and Park nad Starym Kanalem Bydgoskim, with a warm-up preceding the start and awards presented around midday. The field is limited to 1,550 participants, positioning it as a local mass race rather than a large festival. The route runs through Park nad Starym Kanalem Bydgoskim, with the start and finish located in the same canal-side area. The first participants are expected back after approximately 15 minutes, while the last finishers typically arrive within about 45 minutes, consistent with the short 5 km distance. The race commemorates Bydgoszcz's city birthday; one edition honored the city's 680th anniversary. The first 1,300 registered runners receive an event T-shirt, and participants under 18 require parental consent to participate.
