5K races near Chmielowice

The Kielecki Bieg Sylwestrowy is a New Year's Eve run held in Kielce. It begins at 2:00 PM from Hala Legionów. This is a short, approximately 5 km race, featuring both paved streets and off-road sections. It is intended for residents of Kielce and the broader Świętokrzyskie region, not exclusively for club runners. The race is in its third edition, organized by the Świętokrzyskie Stowarzyszenie Inicjatyw Społecznych im. Stanisława Staszica. The New Year's Eve timing influences the atmosphere: participants are encouraged to wear colorful costumes and creative party accessories, making the event more relaxed and playful than competitive.
