Recurring Half Marathon races near Opole
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Nocny Bieg Przez Wrocław
The Nocny Wrocław Półmaraton is a night half marathon held in Wrocław, typically on city streets after dark in June. Organized by the City of Wrocław and Młodzieżowe Centrum Sportu Wrocław, it is structured as a large mass participation event. The inaugural edition was canceled, but subsequent fields expanded significantly, growing from under 5,000 finishers to over 10,000, with recent entries indicating a trend toward even larger participation.
The course guides runners through Wrocław illuminated at night, a distinctive feature of the race. Current planning designates Tarczyński Arena Wrocław as the start and finish location, a change intended by organizers to provide greater space and enhance safety. The event accommodates both elite runners and thousands of recreational participants. The race has experienced disruptions, including two cancellations during the pandemic era before its resumption. A recent participation limit was established at 26,066 spots, a figure selected to reference the race date.
Semi-marathon du Loup
The Semi-marathon du Loup is a forest cross-country race held in Wilcza, a village within the Pilchowice commune in southern Poland. It focuses on trails and trees, offering a small-field atmosphere as opposed to city streets, crowds, and traffic. The name translates to “Wolf Half Marathon,” and the race embraces this theme with a close, pack-like feel at the finish.
The course winds through a forest setting, and participants are asked to treat the woods with respect, a characteristic element of the event. Finishers are awarded a unique medal, frequently featuring a wolf design. Following the race, participants can explore Wilcza and nearby Pilchowice, including the wooden Church of St. Nicholas, an eighteenth-century structure on the Wooden Architecture Route, and the palace in Pilchowice.
PKO Semi-marathon de Gliwice
The PKO Semi-marathon de Gliwice begins near PreZero Arena Gliwice, with the half-marathon runners starting at 10:00 AM. This autumn event centers on the 21.0975 km half marathon, while 10 km and 5 km races commence fifteen minutes later.
The schedule also features Nordic walking for the shorter distances, ensuring the day caters to more than just those pursuing the full half-marathon. A children’s race takes place near PreZero Arena the preceding day, and this marks the event’s ninth edition.
Pko Polmaraton Gliwicki
The PKO Półmaraton Gliwicki is an autumn race in Gliwice centered on a half marathon, also featuring a 5 km run and a Nordic Walking event. The event hub is PreZero Arena Gliwice, with the race office located near entrance A and the finish area set up there.
The half marathon begins at the Gliwice Radio Tower and concludes at PreZero Arena. Buses will transport runners from the arena area to the start. The course is a loop that impacts city center access; traffic within the Śródmieście loop can be reached from Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa during the event. Children's races are also part of the program, and their entries may close before race day.
Kobeřický půlmaraton
The Kobeřice Half Marathon is a public event held annually in Kobeřice, organized by the local athletics club affiliated with TJ Sokol Kobeřice. This race is part of a small local running calendar, alongside two other club events: the Winter Run in Kobeřice and the Kobeřice 20k.
The club was established in the late 1980s under Hubert Jašek. Early coach-runners included Emil Kašný, Václav Měch, Jan Urbiš, Stanislav and Milan Halfar, Güntr Hanzlík, and Roman Jašek. Club members compete both within the Czech Republic and internationally. The half marathon has been featured in the Moravia and Silesia championship program. Notably, two club members, Emil Kašný and Jan Urbiš, earned FAIR-PLAY awards for life-saving actions, adding a significant human element to the race's history beyond mere athletic achievements.
XI Gliwicka Dycha
The XI Gliwicka Dycha is a 10 km race held in Gliwice, Poland. It is part of the XI PKO Gliwice Half Marathon event and is organized by Fundacja Bieg Rzeźnika. The participation was substantial for a local 10K, with 675 runners registered, 602 starting, and 600 completing the race, with only two not finishing.
The race's timing system provides a detailed view of the competition. Timing points are located at 3.9 km, 5 km, 5.5 km, and the finish line, allowing runners to be tracked throughout the course, not just at the halfway mark and the end. The results distinguish between women, men, Gliwice residents, and age categories from K-20 and M-20 up to K-60 and M-60. Most classifications are based on net time, but the top 60 open places are determined by gross time.
Krospůlmaraton
Niepodlegla Jura Run
The Niepodległa Jura Run is a street race in Krasiejów, within the Ozimek municipality of Opole Voivodeship, taking place near Poland’s Independence Day. The primary race covers just under 11 km, and with children’s races included, it serves as a local running event for families and adults aiming for a timed result.
The start and race headquarters are located at the Science and Entertainment Park on ul. 1 Maja. The main route is not officially certified; runners navigate using white-and-red tape and arrows, with a single checkpoint along the course. Stowarzyszenie ULTRA is the organizing body, and the event provides electronic timing, a starter pack, finisher medals, and a meal at the finish.
Bieg Młodego Patrioty
Bieg Młodego Patrioty is a short race for children and youth in Gliwice, held as part of Poland’s National Independence Day events. It begins in Chopin Park at 10:00 AM, intended as a symbolic run rather than a long or competitive road race. Any child or young person may participate; the organizers do not require advance registration.
The course covers short distances, suitable for the family-holiday atmosphere and accessible to younger runners. Participants are encouraged to wear white and red. The event has attracted nearly 300 children. All participants receive a commemorative medal and a souvenir race number, making the day feel more like a shared patriotic observance than a results-focused competition.
Maraton Odrzanski
Półmaraton Odrzański is an autumn road running event in Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Poland. The official race distance is the half marathon, 21.097 km, with the program also covering distances near the half marathon and marathon.
The available race information is practical rather than detailed: registration is open, the entry price is yet to be announced, and training plans are provided for runners preparing for the distance. No course map, relay details, license rules, or route landmarks are included in the source material.

About Half Marathon races in Opole
Opole Training Notes
Opole hosts 24 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Opole runners keep the scene small, local, and easy to join. The city centre sits by the Oder River, so weekday runs usually feel simple and flat. Locals use races as the anchor, because named city routes are not really the point here. Family Run Opole 2026, VIII Rodzinny Bieg Odblaskowy, Atlantis Bieg Opolski, Charytatywny Bieg Zonkilowa Piatka, and Test Bieg 5 Km give the calendar a steady rhythm. Odra Opole, Orlik Opole, Kolejarz Opole, Gwardia Opole, and Rodło Opole are the club names you hear around the local sports scene.
Opole riders get more route choice than runners. Bikemap lists 1,379 cycle routes around Opole, so locals can build Z2, intervals, gravel, or a weekend ustawka without overthinking it. Leśny Trening Opole - Zawada, Turawa Ring, trasa Rommela, Turawa UNI, and GraveLova Sroda_Bodzio - Zakurzony Trop all sit in the local vocabulary. Turawa UNI runs 6 km and climbs 580 m. Opole - Pyskowice and Opole - Chorzów add longer climbing days, while Gravelove Bory and Triathlon Opolski work as anchor events.
June and July are the good months here, and locals actually use them. Opole is one of the warmest cities in Poland, and Prószków near Opole holds the national all-time heat record, so summer sessions start with respect for heat. The Oder River and Malina Lake give the city a softer training feel when the pace drops. Winter changes the mood more than the map. Locals keep base miles, Z2 rides, and steady runs close to town, while cyclocross, gravel, and the harder MTB lines wait for the right day.
