Rozbiegane Mogilno is a noon running event in Mogilno, Poland, held at the Olimpijs Sports Complex. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km runs, or a 5 km Nordic walking option for those preferring not to run. The event takes place in October and is part of the Crown of Mogilno County series, connecting Mogilno with Dąbrowa and Przyjezierze. The event accommodates club runners, masters athletes, teams, walkers, and families, not exclusively elite racers. Age categories are divided every 10 years, a team classification is included, and the 5 km race typically sees close to 200 finishers. Younger participants have their own short races before the main event, requiring no registration, while adults compete for cash prizes, finisher medals, and prize drawings. The finish area provides food and a Chillout Zone, and the sports complex offers additional activities like volleyball, basketball, football, climbing, fitness, swimming, aqua aerobics, massages, and saunas.

The Octoberforest Run takes place in late October in Jarocin, Poland, starting and finishing within the Jarocin Forest. Participants can select a 10 km or 5 km run, or a 5 km Nordic walking option. All three distances are open to individuals aged 16 and older, making the event suitable for general adult runners and walkers, not exclusively club athletes. The route is situated within the forest, deviating from a city-road course. Parking is available on Cicha Street, near the cemetery. Stowarzyszenie Biegacze Jarocin is the organizing body. Local accounts indicate it is a relatively new event, having completed its third edition. Its objectives are straightforward: encourage running, highlight the Jarocin Forest as a suitable venue for training and racing, foster intergenerational participation, and ensure equitable competition. A local review noted that participants considered the event highly successful.

The Uliczny Bieg o Lampkę Górniczą is a street race in Konin connected to Barbórka, Poland’s miners’ holiday. It is also known as Bieg Debiutanta, and later events have used the Barbórka title directly. The “miner’s lamp” in the name provides the race its local identity, and the event’s slogan plays on that idea of light. The main run begins near the passage by the MOSiR swimming pool, with organizers maintaining a stable start and route from one edition to the next. It attracts local runners in increasing numbers, uses electronic timing, and concludes with a formal winners’ ceremony in the early afternoon. After several dozen editions, it is established as one of the region’s familiar running events, not just a one-off holiday run.
