JuraRun 5+ is the shortest race at the JuraRun Festival in Podlesice, located in the heart of the Krakow-Czestochowa Jura. This 5 km trail run features timing and has a 600-runner limit, with a 1 hour 30 minute cut-off. It is suitable for beginners and runners seeking a brief off-road challenge. The festival itself includes nine events: seven running distances ranging from 5 km to 102 km, a 10 km Nordic Walking event, and children's races. The 5 km route crosses forest paths, meadows, and dirt roads, including approximately 180 m of elevation gain despite its "very easy" classification. Participants receive a start number. Mandatory equipment includes a timing chip, phone, cup or bottle, and whistle. Preparation similar to longer routes is advised, with a GPS track, small pack, water, windproof jacket, and hat or neck warmer recommended.

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.

M1 Bieg Sylwestrowy is a New Year's Eve street race in Częstochowa, Poland, offering 5 km and 10 km distances. It caters to runners seeking a final event before the year concludes, with a short-distance format suitable for both competitive runners and those finishing their season at a relaxed pace. The course utilizes repeated loops on paths and a promenade, keeping participants near the event hub rather than venturing far from town. The end-of-year timing lends it a festive atmosphere distinct from a typical road race, and the provided training plans indicate the organizers anticipate both novice and experienced runners preparing for the two distances.
