5K races near Tomaszów Mazowiecki

Tomaszów Training Notes

Tomaszów Mazowiecki hosts 15 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run from the city centre toward Niebieskie Źródła Nature Reserve when they want easy rhythm and clean Z2. Kościuszko Square gives a simple start point, because Saint Anthony Street runs that way from the middle of Tomaszów. Kaczka gives another local loop feel when the legs need something shorter. Wanda Panfil Team is the name you hear around races. The 43. Bieg im. Bronisława Malinowskiego is the anchor event here, with over 700 people in the recreational race and 231 runners in the 10 km main race in 2024. Opoczyński Bieg z Wandą Panfil also sits on the regional calendar.

Locals ride plenty, because Tomaszów has 300 cycle routes to pick from. One route runs 5 km with 172 m of ascent. Another route is 2 km and climbs 520 m. One route is 5 km and gains 953 m. The climbs sit on those rolling outbound roads, not on one named hill. Wyścig Kolarski po Ziemi Łódzkiej and the 36. Międzynarodowy Wyścig Kolarski „solidarności” i Olimpijczyków give the race edge.

May and August are the months when most people get on their bikes here. Summer puts more runners toward Niebieskie Źródła and more riders around Zalew Sulejowski, with longer Z2 rides and sharper intervals before race weekends. The Pilica valley keeps the training honest without making it mountain work. Winter changes the feel fast, because runners keep the roads and parks steady while cyclists choose shorter spins or indoor work. Ice Arena Tomaszów Mazowiecki becomes the local winter flex, because the city has Poland’s only all-year speed skating track and it has hosted World Championships.
