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.

Bełchatowska Piętnastka is a street race held in November in Bełchatów, a city in Poland’s central Łódź region. The name refers to its primary 15 km distance, though shorter 5 km and 10 km races are also available. This offers options for runners seeking a challenge beyond a parkrun but not yet ready for a half marathon. November in Bełchatów typically brings cold, wet conditions, with average temperatures around 7°C and frequent rain, making warm gear essential. The race originated in 1983, positioning it as one of the Łódź region's longest-standing running events. It is organized by Bełchatów's City Sports Center in partnership with the local athletics club. The race office is located at Hala Energia on ul. Dąbrowskiego. In recent years, over 600 participants have finished the races, indicating its status as a significant local event. The street race format emphasizes straightforward road running through Bełchatów, with the 15 km distance defining the event's character.
