About this race
Nocny Bieg Świętojański is a 10 km night race in Gdynia, Poland, held during the shortest night of the year. It's a city race after dark, with participants running under streetlights in a seaside port environment. The route is described as very fast, though it lacks PZLA certification, making it more of a spirited summer 10K than an officially recognized record course.
The course utilizes Gdynia’s main roads, frequently concluding near the city boulevards by the water. The race connects running with the summer solstice, featuring lighting, night streets, and a maritime atmosphere that enhances the experience beyond a typical daytime road race. It attracts individuals who prefer racing after dark, and the large field allows runners to feel the energy of thousands of others moving through the city.
