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.

Skierniewice hosts the Course de l'Indépendance to commemorate Poland's Independence Day, opting for a short road race instead of a formal parade. The course is typically around 5 km, allowing beginners, casual runners, club athletes, and more experienced competitors to participate together. Hundreds of participants gather annually, blending race-day excitement with a patriotic holiday assembly. The event begins with a communal singing of the national anthem, providing a more solemn start than a typical local 5K. Many participants wear white and red or affix national cockades, with these colors contributing to the day's significance. While results are recorded, the race prioritizes the collective commemoration: participants run, observe the holiday, and fill the course with national colors.
