The Palmiry Janusz Kusociński Memorial Run begins at the forest parking lot on Kusocińskiego Street in Palmiry, within the Czosnów area near Warsaw. This November running event takes place in Kampinos National Park, focusing on sport and remembrance over simply racing against time. The course is situated within the national park, offering a forest start instead of urban streets. The race commemorates Janusz Kusociński and serves as a patriotic occasion intended to unite different generations. Stowarzyszenie Slavia Masovia, Gmina Czosnów, and the Public Library in Czosnów are the organizers, with honorary patronage.

The Warsaw Uprising Race is a night run in Warsaw, held on the last Saturday of July, honoring the Warsaw Insurgents. Participants can select either a 5 km or 10 km distance, with the 5 km race commencing at 8:30 pm and the 10 km at 9:15 pm. Over 10,000 individuals register annually, and the event is a component of the Warsaw Running Triad, Poland's largest running series. Both distances begin at Bonifraterska and Konwiktorska streets, adjacent to an insurgent redoubt and near a key intersection where intense fighting occurred during the uprising. The course proceeds along Bonifraterska, Muranowska, and Andersa streets, then crosses the railway viaduct towards Żoliborz. The race serves as an active commemoration, with club runners, local residents, and history enthusiasts navigating the same evening course through locations significant to the city's wartime history.

The Warsaw Uprising Memorial Race is a 10-kilometer remembrance run in the Warsaw area, taking place in October. Several hundred runners from across Poland participated in the event, supported by PIASTUN and under the honorary patronage of regional and local officials from Mazovia, Pruszków County, Pruszków, and Piastów. The route's most significant historical point is reached halfway, as runners pass the Dulag 121 site, the transit camp in Pruszków associated with the civilian consequences of the Warsaw Uprising. This point gives the race a distinct purpose: it serves not merely as a road race, but as a method of commemorating Powstańcza Warszawa through a collective 10K effort.

Bieg po Karmę is a charity race held around the animal shelter in Korabiewice, in Poland’s Mazowieckie region. The shelter organizes the event, which includes a 10 km run named Chyży Husky, a 5 km run named Szybki Chart, a 5 km Nordic Walking option named Śmigły Wyżeł, and short children’s races. Start fees and race-package income fund food for the shelter animals, particularly the approximately 200 dogs. The routes traverse the Puszcza Mariańska municipality, using asphalt roads, forest paths, field margins, and open fields, with tape and arrows marking the way. The event also highlights the shelter’s daily work, including adoption, volunteering, humane treatment of animals, ecological awareness, and active living. The children’s program features five distances, such as the 100-meter Bieg Mopsa for the youngest participants, making the day resemble a local community race more than a standard road event.

The race is linked to Pruszków's city-rights anniversary, presented as a local sports day. Runners, walkers, children, and residents are invited. Nearby streets, parking, and pedestrian movement are temporarily altered around the route.
