Ogolnopolski Bieg Pamieci Bohaterow Monte Cassino Strazackie 998 2026

The Ogólnopolski Bieg Pamięci Bohaterów Monte Cassino is a running event held in May in Konopiska, a village in Poland’s Silesian Voivodeship near Częstochowa. The main race covers 10 km, and the program also features the 1 km “Strażackie 998” firefighter run. Categories are available for women and men, with entries open across a broad age range. Stowarzyszenie Atelier Sportu organizes the event, which is based at the Irena Szewińska Athletic Stadium. The field is limited to a few hundred participants, differing from a large city-race scale. The race name commemorates Polish soldiers who fought at Monte Cassino, and the day has a strong uniformed-services presence. The 10 km start is on Sportowa Street in Konopiska, with the finish in Częstochowa. The route appears to link the local stadium area with the nearby city. Alongside the races, the Uniformed Services Picnic includes displays of combat equipment, food stands, children's bouncy castles, and a run for Youth Fire Brigades, blending local remembrance with a family day for fire-service communities.
