10K races near Ochla

The Octoberforest Run takes place in late October in Jarocin, Poland, starting and finishing within the Jarocin Forest. Participants can select a 10 km or 5 km run, or a 5 km Nordic walking option. All three distances are open to individuals aged 16 and older, making the event suitable for general adult runners and walkers, not exclusively club athletes. The route is situated within the forest, deviating from a city-road course. Parking is available on Cicha Street, near the cemetery. Stowarzyszenie Biegacze Jarocin is the organizing body. Local accounts indicate it is a relatively new event, having completed its third edition. Its objectives are straightforward: encourage running, highlight the Jarocin Forest as a suitable venue for training and racing, foster intergenerational participation, and ensure equitable competition. A local review noted that participants considered the event highly successful.
