Radomski Bieg Onkologiczny
The Radomski Bieg Onkologiczny is a community run in Radom, held by the Borki Reservoir, with a focus on cancer prevention. The first edition quickly filled its 300-person entry limit and had more demand, with nearly 300 people at the start. It is open to runners and nordic walkers, making the event a broad health-focused gathering rather than a race for fast club athletes. Its timing coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and its message is clear: regular checkups matter, healthy habits matter, and life after cancer can include physical activity.
The route is short and direct: two laps of 2.5 kilometers around the reservoir. The concept originated with the Radom Oncology Center, and the Biegiem Radom! Association assisted in its organization within two months. Many participants are individuals who have undergone cancer treatment, including breast cancer survivors, and some who were not healthy enough to run still sent messages of support. This gives the run a distinct atmosphere compared to a typical local 5K, as the participants include patients, survivors, relatives, regular runners, walkers, and people using the day to publicly advocate for prevention and recovery.
Esbank Go7 Radomszczanski Festiwal Kolarsko Biegowy
The ESBANK GO7 Radomszczański Kolarsko-Biegowy Festival takes place over a May weekend, featuring running, cycling, MTB, Nordic walking, and eco-events centered around Radomsko. Recent editions have been based in Ruda, within the Dobryszyce municipality. The festival's program is notably comprehensive for a local event, including a night half marathon, a 22 km run, a running Grand Prix, an MTB race, a Nordic walking event, plogging, and a 100-meter Green Run, all organized under one event.
The festival originated from an event held in Radomsko, with the race office, start, and finish located at Starowiejska 120, near the forests of Sucha Wieś. Charity is integral to the festival, not merely an addition. The “Happy Seventh” charity run, ecological initiatives, support for individuals and animals in need, and the “Złotówka za kilometr” campaign all link kilometers to charitable causes. Participants are primarily a mix of local residents, club athletes, cyclists, walkers, and visitors from throughout Poland, with notable athletes like Polish marathon champion Adam Nowicki adding a competitive element.
Bieg po Karmę
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.
Course de l'Indépendance de Skierniewice
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.
Bieg Uliczny Belchatowska Pietnastka
Bełchatowska Piętnastka is a street race held in November in Bełchatów, a city in Poland’s central Łódź region. The name refers to its primary 15 km distance, though shorter 5 km and 10 km races are also available. This offers options for runners seeking a challenge beyond a parkrun but not yet ready for a half marathon. November in Bełchatów typically brings cold, wet conditions, with average temperatures around 7°C and frequent rain, making warm gear essential.
The race originated in 1983, positioning it as one of the Łódź region's longest-standing running events. It is organized by Bełchatów's City Sports Center in partnership with the local athletics club. The race office is located at Hala Energia on ul. Dąbrowskiego. In recent years, over 600 participants have finished the races, indicating its status as a significant local event. The street race format emphasizes straightforward road running through Bełchatów, with the 15 km distance defining the event's character.
Pędzące Renifery
Pędzące Renifery translates to “Running Reindeer.” It is a Christmas-themed 5 km run held in Park im. Roberta Baden-Powella in Łódź, Poland. The distance suits casual participants while offering regular runners a timed effort within a city park.
The race centers on a simple holiday concept: runners convene in Baden-Powell Park for a five-kilometer route, foregoing a long road race across the city. Lumi Loom organizes the event, with Maciej Sobczak connected to its organization.
Kielecki Bieg Sylwestrowy
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.

About 5K races in Opoczno
Opoczno Training Notes
Opoczno hosts 15 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals keep running simple in Opoczno. The city centre gives you easy starts, and the Wąglanka and Drzewiczka give the town its natural lines. The Wyżyna Przedborska plateau keeps the ground honest enough for steady Z2 and sharper intervals. Ludowy Klub Sportowy Ceramika Opoczno is the local club name people know. Opoczyński Bieg z Wandą Panfil is the anchor event here. Kunicki Bieg Reggae, Vikings Run Piesn Zeglarzy Elite Run, Dycha Justynów-Janówka, Human Machine 100 Km, and Ultra Fajna Ryba give runners more targets nearby.
Riders get more mapped options than runners here. Opoczno has 198 cycle routes mapped, so you can pick easy base miles, a fast road loop, or a longer gran fondo ride. The 'Opoczno - Gmina Morawica' route runs 100 km with 545 m of ascent. ŻTC BIKE RACE 2025 is the anchor race, and Marek Galiński gives the cyclocross and cross-country crowd a real local reference.
July and August are the best months, and most people cycle in July and August. The route is 5 km with 97 m of ascent. Runners use the same warm window for steady volume before race efforts. Winter changes the feel for both sports. Locals keep the work tighter, with runners leaning into intervals and riders treating the colder months as Z2, maintenance, and the quiet build before the next race calendar.
