5K races near Polkowice

The Legnica Half Marathon begins in the city center at plac Meisslera. Runners depart from the Wrocławska street area and conclude by the City Park. This autumn road race in Legnica, Lower Silesia, features two officially measured distances: the half marathon and the Legnicka Dziesiątka 10k. The format accommodates runners seeking a certified city race with varied distance options. Both races utilize the same start and finish points, creating a unified event atmosphere. Standard entry typically includes timing, a finisher medal, food, and beverages, with an optional technical shirt. The half marathon is the original event, and the 10k was introduced later, offering a shorter, quicker alternative to the main distance.

The Legnicki Bieg Niepodległości is a 5 km Independence Day run in Legnica, organized by the city’s Ośrodek Sportu i Rekreacji. The start and finish are traditionally beside the OSiR headquarters on Najświętszej Marii Panny street, and the main race is run in the evening over four laps. The event also gives younger runners their own races, with distances set by age group, and children can be registered on the day. The program includes a non-competitive Nordic walking march before the main run, covering one 1,250 m lap on the same central street. Finishers receive commemorative medals, including the children and youth runners, whose numbers have been growing. The field is local and mixed: recent editions have had more than 300 people complete the 5 km, with support from Legnica schools, the Wojskowa Szkoła Średnia im. Zawiszy Czarnego, Legnickie Morsy, Well Fitness, Marsa, and the local sanitary-epidemiological station.
