The main field starts at 11:11, echoing the symbolism of Polish Independence Day. Bieg i Marsz Niepodległości is a Warsaw street event featuring a 10 km run and a 5 km Nordic walking race, both conducted on closed roads. Earlier in the morning, the Mila Niepodległości offers a shorter 1918 m option for runners, its distance referencing the year Poland regained independence.
The event accommodates various participants: runners, walkers, children, and families. Younger entrants can join free companion races, such as the 1000 m Bieg Młodego Marszałka, with guardians supervising their children. The race incorporates Independence Day themes through elements like the optional mustache-themed shirt, available during registration.
