5K races near Osiedle Akademickie

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.
