Cycling & running events in Gliwice, 2026

Gliwice Training Notes

Running: Locals run Gliwice like a compact Silesian training grid. The 77 km loop climbs 80 m, so it works for steady Z2 or controlled intervals. Park Kultury i Wypoczynku keeps the easy days simple, and the Kłodnica river gives the city centre a clean line to follow. Piast Gliwice, GTK Gliwice, Sośnica Gliwice, and Gliwice LIONS give the club scene its local names. The clubs run 95 km, 10 km, 5 km, and Nordic walking events. XI Gliwicka Dycha, Pink Race, Bieg Oko w Oko z Rakiem, and Gliwicka Parkowa Prowokacja Biegowa keep the calendar busy.

Cycling: Locals ride out of Gliwice with plenty of choice, because the map carries 3,086 cycle routes. Rowerowe Gliwice sits right in the local bike mix, and Patryk Sasin, Lukasz, Kranzzo, chassan, and Miko88 show how much gets logged here. One route runs 4 km and climbs 166 m. Another route runs 2 km and climbs 326 m. A third route runs 6 km and climbs 1,296 m. PBT Rozjazd / Ultramaraton Rowerowy and Triathlon Gliwice feel like the anchor targets.

Season: June and July are the best months, and most people get on their bikes to ride here in the months of June and July. Summer gives runners enough light for Park Wojewódzki laps, city street race prep, and longer base miles before Półmaraton Gliwicki XI on October 25th. The route covers 3 km and climbs 163 m. Winter changes the rhythm for both sports, because the brief gives no winter race block, so locals keep it simple with steady running, shorter rides, and whatever cyclocross or singletrack mood the Silesian Highlands allow.
