10K races near Bielawa

O pohár Sedloňova is a traditional 10 km road race in Sedloňov, run on tough, hilly terrain rather than a flat fast circuit. TJ Sokol Sedloňov organizes it, and the race is usually held on the first Saturday of October. It has been running since 1971 and is open to all categories. The main field is small, usually around 40 to 50 runners, which makes it feel more like a local club race than a big-city event. The course records show the race is still quick despite the hills: 29:55.0 for men and 35:13.25 for women. Results are published at behsedlonov.cz.

Cena Metuje is a 10 km road race held in Nové Město nad Metují, with the race office and finish located at the Sokolovna. The primary event is the Memoriál M. J. Horáčka, an established asphalt-road run with over sixty editions. Youth races are held alongside the adult race, making the day suitable for local club runners, children, and families, not exclusively for seasoned 10 km competitors. The course follows the Metuje River valley to Peklo and returns via the same route to the Sokolovna. Children are engaged in the broader series through the “Dad, Mom - Run With Us” project, allowing them to accumulate points for participating in all series races. SK Nové Město nad Metují members are exempt from entry fees, and registration is managed online via Sportchallenge, with options available on race morning.

Borský kros is a 10 km cross-country trail race held in Machov, a village within the Náchod District of the Královéhradecký Region. The primary race, also known as the Desítka, begins at the Doleček running-track area. Registration opens in the morning, with the main race commencing later in the day. The course crosses field, forest, and meadow paths, offering a true trail running experience distinct from a road 10K. The main route passes through Bor and features approximately 200 metres of elevation gain. Organized by Borský klub lyžařů Machov z.s., the modest entry fee contributes to its atmosphere as a local club event catering to both regular participants and more competitive runners.

The Otmuchowski Bieg Niepodległości is a 5 km and 10 km running event in Otmuchów, Poland, held on Poland’s Independence Day as part of local celebrations. Its full name, “Jestem patriotą, biegam nie piję” — “I’m a patriot, I run, I don’t drink” — conveys a clear community message: mark the national holiday with sport rather than alcohol. The field is modest, with over 100 runners, giving it the feel of a local gathering rather than a crowded big-city race.

Úpická desítka is a 10,000-meter road race in Úpice, starting and finishing in front of the municipal hall. The main race follows the children's races, meaning the day accommodates both adult runners and younger local participants. It is a non-scoring event within the Winter Running League, featuring categories aligned with that league and a results ceremony held later in the Municipal Hall. The course is a measured out-and-back 10k. Adults can register online or on the day, while children's entries are handled only on site and are free. The race has attracted fields exceeding 130 adult runners and over 40 children. Past winning times indicate a fast course, with the men's record under 33 minutes and the women's record just over 37 minutes.
