Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Grand Prix Krakowa w Biegach Górskich - Bieg Karnawałowy
TUE FEB 2
The Grand Prix de Cracovie de course en montagne is a mountain running series in Krakow, Lesser Poland, using the trails of Wolski Forest. The program includes 1.5 km and 3.7 km races, plus 5 km, 11 km, and 23 km options, catering to beginners, younger runners, club runners, and those seeking a challenging trail effort. Editions have included names like the Course de la Saint-Nicolas and Wielkie Otwarcie. The series aims to encourage active recreation for all ages through sport, while highlighting Krakow and the Małopolska region. The 23 km race is the most difficult, covering two loops of the Ambitna Jedenastka. It involves approximately 913 meters of climbing and descent, with a 3 hour 30 minute time limit and one aid station. This makes it a compact, demanding mountain race, distinct from a casual park run. The 23 km distance is rated ITRA Mountain Level 4 and Finisher Level 400, is part of the National League, and has typically drawn around 250 solo participants.
Krakowski Bieg Walentynkowy
SUN FEB 14
The Krakow Valentine's Run is a certified 5K in Jordan Park, featuring a heart-shaped route designed for Valentine's Day. It welcomes runners, couples, and individuals seeking a relaxed, social way to observe the holiday, distinct from events solely for competitive club athletes. Organizers call it Poland's largest event for couples, and its structure supports both novice runners and seasoned participants. The course follows a path through the park in central Krakow, with the heart shape integral to the event's identity since its first edition. A unique element is the Pairs Category, where couples run tethered by a special band. Participants receive refreshments at the finish, and the event includes contests and other elements, maintaining a spirit closer to a festive Valentine's outing than a typical road race.
Grand Prix Krakowa w Biegach Górskich - Wielki Finał
MON MAR 1
The Grande Finale of the Grand Prix de Cracovie des Courses de Montagne is a 23 km mountain race in Krakow, utilizing the running routes of Wolski Forest. It begins at 09:00 with a 3 hour 30 minute time limit and one aid station. The race awards ITRA Mountain Level 4 points and a Finisher Level 400 rating, indicating a demanding trail effort. The course consists of two loops of the Ambitna Jedenastka, totaling 913 meters of elevation gain and nearly equal descent. Approximately 250 runners are anticipated, and the event is included in the National League. The Krakow Grand Prix in Mountain Running comprises five distinct races, supporting active recreation and the local trail network in Wolski Forest.
NN Night Run Ostrava
SAT APR 10
The NN Night Run Ostrava features two main distances: a 10 km Night Run and a 5 km race, which is also a charitable event as part of the Avon Run. The start and finish are located in Komenského sady, a large urban park along the Ostravice River, near the New Town Hall. The park is illuminated by participants' headlamps. Additional races include a 3 km run and children's/junior races. After the event, participants can explore Ostrava's attractions, such as the Dolní Vítkovice industrial complex, the New Town Hall observation tower, and local cuisine.
Krakowski Bieg Swoszowicki
SUN MAY 30
The Krakow Swoszowicki Run begins and ends in Zdrojowy Park in Swoszowice, a spa district south of Krakow. It typically takes place in May, featuring a 10 km main race, a 5 km option, a 1.6 km Family Mile, and children’s races as short as 50 meters. The location provides a distinct atmosphere compared to a city-centre road race: the race center is situated in a green park connected to one of Europe’s oldest sulfurous thermal spas. The 10 km route includes inclines around Swoszowice, making it more than just a flat park run. The event attracts regular runners, families, children, and individuals seeking an active day away from Krakow's busiest areas. The start, finish, and race office are all located within the park, offering space for picnics and children’s activities post-run. The race is organized by the runners’ association “I Ty Możesz Być Wielki,” translating to “You Can Be Great Too,” and has been held at least a dozen times.
Biegiem na Bagry
SAT JUN 19
Run to Bagry is a 5 km cross-country race around Bagry, Krakow's largest reservoir, starting in the morning with children's races at noon. It takes place near the city center, offering a lakeside atmosphere rather than a street race, with water, beach, and green space adjacent to the route. The course follows the reservoir on gravel paths and asphalt, finishing by a sandy beach. Fast runners complete the 5 km in approximately 17 minutes. The event includes children's races ranging from 50 to 300 meters. Organized since 2015, the race previously featured a 10 km distance before adopting the current 5 km format. A local tradition allows runners to cool their legs in the reservoir water after finishing.
Course sur route de Świerczyniec pour la Coupe du Maire de la Commune
SAT JUL 10
The Świerczyniec Road Race for the Commune Mayor's Cup will be held in Świerczyniec. This event offers a fast and dynamic race with a local atmosphere, suitable for participants who enjoy sporting emotions and healthy competition. The course is flat and urban, designed for achieving personal best times. The event includes a main 10 km race for long-distance runners and a supporting 5 km race for sprinters and recreational runners.
PKO Piekarski Półmaraton
FRI JUL 16
The PKO Piekary Semi-marathon is a night half marathon held in Piekary Śląskie, southern Poland, starting at 9:00 p.m. It is organized as a local running festival, featuring the main 21.1 km race alongside the Nocna zaDyszka 10 km run and a 5 km Leśna Eko Piątka the day prior. The event caters to both experienced runners and beginners, offering various distances rather than requiring participation in the half marathon. The City of Piekary Śląskie directs the organization, with support from local sports groups and the municipal sports center, including MKS Olimpia Piekary Śląskie and Lecymy Durś.
Tatra Skymarathon
FRI JUL 23
Tatra SkyMarathon is a 45 km loop Skyrace in the Polish High Tatras above Zakopane, featuring 3,300 metres of climbing across rugged alpine terrain. It is part of the Skyrunner World Series and requires genuine mountain skills: strong climbing legs, confident descending, and comfort on exposed rock, not just road-running fitness. The route crosses the Czerwone Wierchy ridge and Starorobociański Wierch, including two vertical-style climbs of approximately 1,200 metres each. Participants begin on forested lower slopes before ascending to granite ridges, exposed sections, technical boulder fields, open valleys, and challenging Tatra descents where precise footwork is as crucial as endurance.
Běhej lesy Bílá
SAT JUL 31
Experience an alpine atmosphere in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, near the Polish border. The event features two mountain courses: approximately 11 km and 20 km. Participants will take a cable car to the start of the route, which winds through greenery, past streams, and offers mountain views. After the race, the village of Bílá offers relaxation options. For families, the Children's Summer Park and a treetop adventure course are available. The Šance water reservoir is recommended for walks. The town of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, with an open-air museum, is a 30-minute drive away. Local specialties include Wallachian frgale, sweet yeast cakes with fruit or quark filling.
Spartan Bielsko-Biala Ultra Trifecta Weekend
SAT AUG 28
The Bielsko-Biała Ultra Trifecta Weekend is a Spartan obstacle race in southern Poland, set in the foothills of Beskid Śląski and Beskid Mały. This is a mountain-style OCR, not a flat park run. The course extends onto the slopes near Szyndzielnia and the Dębowiec recreation and ski area. Steep climbs, streams, rocky paths, and forest trails are as significant as the constructed obstacles. Sprint and Super distances are offered, alongside a Spartan Kids race for children. The event attracts competitors from approximately 30 countries and is promoted locally as Poland’s sole Spartan event. It accommodates elite racers, general adult participants, seniors, individuals with disabilities, children, and workplace teams, with company teams able to register together if they have a minimum of four members. The Bielsko-Biała edition is also part of the Polish Culture Capital program, linking the city’s mountain environment to a broader civic schedule, rather than appearing as an isolated sports event.
Zilinsky Mestsky Polmaraton
WED SEP 15
Žilina, known as the pearl of the Váh River, invites you to fast racing in the very heart of western Slovakia. Žilinský mestský polmaratón is a dynamic race with a flat profile, whose course seamlessly connects the historic center with the beautiful, arcade-surrounded market square Mariánske námestie and the green spaces of the city parks. The main 21.1 km race is a perfect opportunity to set personal bests on asphalt, but the organizers traditionally also prepare shorter distances for competitors who prefer a sprinter’s pace.

Bielsko-Biała Training Notes

Bielsko-Biała hosts 30 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Bielsko-Biała gives runners a mountain-adjacent setup without much fuss. Locals keep easy days around the city centre and the Biała River, then point workouts toward the Beskid Mountains when they want bite. Magurka gives trail runners the honest climbing that makes Z2 stop feeling casual. The club scene runs through names like TS Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, Bialski Klub Sportowy Stal Bielsko-Biała, BBTS Włókniarz Bielsko-Biała, BBTS Bielsko-Biała, and Rekord Bielsko-Biała. Anchor races include Bieg Fiata Bielsko Biala, Bieg Kobbiet, Bielsko-Biala Ultra Trifecta Weekend, and XXIX Ogólnopolski Górski BIEG Magurki.

Bielsko-Biała works for riding if you like climbs. Locals say it straight: it’s great here, as long as you like climbs. The south sends riders toward Szczyrk and Biały Krzyż Pass, and the north gives longer base miles toward Pszczyna or Brzeszcze/Wola. Żar, Przegibek, Wielka Puszcza, and Kocierz are the climbs people talk about, and the last few hundred meters of Wielka Puszcza get seriously steep. Beskidzkie Towarzystwo Cyklistów anchors the scene, with bike.wtorek and the Specialized Bielsko group ride adding social wheels. Silesian Classic, Kryterium Asów, Szutry Śląskie, and Bielsko Family Cycling Rally keep the calendar sharp.

Late summer and early fall suit Bielsko-Biała best. Summer brings warm, wet days, so locals get intervals done early and leave the longer Z2 stuff for steadier windows. The Beskid Mountains stay close enough that a normal ride can turn into a climbing day fast, and a normal run can become a trail session without drama. Winter brings cold, damp weather, though western winds and foëhn winds can make it milder. Runners still use the city centre and river rhythm, and cyclists swap some gran fondo thinking for steadier roads, bike paths, or cyclocross-style grit when the hills turn heavy.
