The format is crossduathlon, involving transitions between running and cycling segments without a swim, utilizing a designated transition area.

The Międzynarodowy Bieg Warciański im. Zdzisława Krzyszkowiaka is a 10 km road race held in Koło, Poland’s Wielkopolskie region. The race begins at noon from Park im. Stanisława Moniuszki. The main event also serves as the Polish Athletics Association championship for women over 10 km. This championship status provides the event with a more competitive atmosphere than a standard local road race. Koło has previously hosted the women’s Polish 10 km championship on several occasions. A recent edition saw 508 participants, with the women's winner finishing in 32:14, narrowly missing the Polish record by six seconds. The race is organized by WKB META LUBLINIEC and honors Zdzisław Krzyszkowiak, a notable Polish distance runner.

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.

One Grand Prix stop begins next to the Palace in Tłokinia Kościelna, providing the Independence-themed Bieg Chrystowskich with a distinct setting compared to a typical town-road race. The broader Grand Prix Ziemi Kaliskiej is a regional running series in the Kalisz area, with its schedule spanning spring through autumn and its primary race distances varying from 5 km to approximately 15 km. The series connects five events: Wiosna Cekowska in Ceków-Kolonia, Tribeco Stawiszyn, Murowaniec – Tu się biega at Zalew Murowaniec, the late-summer Żelazków 10 km, and Bieg Chrystowskich dla Niepodległości in Tłokinia Kościelna. Participants aiming for the Grand Prix classification encounter a different challenge at each event, from the 5 km start to the approximately 15 km Stawiszyn race, with several events also featuring shorter accompanying distances. Overall awards consist of sports-equipment vouchers and cups for the top three male and female finishers, and age-category winners also receive cups or statuettes.

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.
