Recurring Half Marathon races near Zabrze
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Silesian Cross Marathon
The Silesian Cross Marathon is an autumn race in Katowice covering approximately 42 km. It is part of the Upper Silesian running circuit, connected to the Silesia Marathon, which includes Katowice, Mysłowice, Siemianowice Śląskie, and Chorzów as partner cities.
The Silesia Marathon course travels from Katowice through Siemianowice Śląskie and Mysłowice before returning to central Katowice, offering a cross-city route instead of a single-park loop. The Silesia Marathon Foundation in Chorzów organizes the event, with assistance from the Marshal's Office of the Silesian Voivodeship. Starts are managed in zones and waves, and the marathon previously ranked second in a Polish comparison of large marathons, receiving commendation for its atmosphere and organization.
Bieg Bohaterow
Bieg Bohaterów is an evening 5K run in Park Śląski, beginning near the Superauto.pl Stadion Śląski gate and concluding on the track within the “Cauldron of Witches.” The course is certified, designed for a wide range of participants: families, friends, novices, children, and seasoned runners are welcome, without the expectation of it being an elite-only competition.
The route follows park paths before entering the stadium for the finish, providing a short race with a notable conclusion. It serves as preparation for the Silesia Marathon, sharing the same start and finish location as the marathon weekend. Registration is available online at biegbohaterow.pl, with a discounted fee for children and individuals under 16.
Silesia Marathon Chorzow
The Silesia Marathon is a full road marathon within the Silesian metropolitan area, with Chorzów and the Silesian Stadium central to recent events. The Chorzów-based Silesia Marathon Foundation organizes it, supported by the Silesian Voivodeship marshal’s office and partner cities Katowice, Mysłowice, Siemianowice Śląskie, and Chorzów. The race takes place in autumn, employs wave starts, and causes the typical city-marathon disruptions: closed streets, modified tram and bus stops, and traffic restrictions near the stadium and along the course.
The course has evolved, but its character is regional, not tied to one city. An earlier route traversed from Katowice through Siemianowice Śląskie and Mysłowice before concluding in central Katowice. Recent editions have started and finished at the Silesian Stadium. Participants are assigned to start zones before the race begins, and organizers provide specific details on transport alterations to help people navigate road closures. The marathon has been ranked second in Poland’s “Golden Races” for large marathons, with judges noting its atmosphere and organization.
Silesia 10k
Silesia 10K is a fast 10 km race in Chorzów, held during the Silesia Marathon weekend in October. It offers runners a shorter option alongside the main Silesian race program, which includes the marathon, half marathon, and 50 km ultramarathon. This event is part of the largest running event in Silesia, organized by the Silesia Marathon Foundation with regional and city partners.
The 10K route goes through Park Śląski and adjacent roads, featuring a flat profile conducive to fast times. This makes it suitable for runners aiming for a personal best and for those seeking a straightforward assessment of current fitness. The broader marathon event attracts thousands of participants from Poland and internationally, begins and ends at the Silesian Stadium, and directs its longer courses through Katowice, Siemianowice Śląskie, Mysłowice, and Chorzów.
Silesia Ultramarathon
The Silesia Ultramarathon is a 50 km road race through cities in Poland’s Silesian region, starting early in October. It is organized by the Silesia Marathon Foundation in Chorzów, with its office at Stadion Śląski, and receives support from the Marshal’s Office of the Silesian Voivodeship. Katowice, Mysłowice, Siemianowice Śląskie, and Chorzów are partner cities, making this a regional city-to-city ultra, not a mountain or trail race.
The route follows urban streets with controlled car traffic, and the distance is certified by PZLA and World Athletics. Runners will find aid stations approximately every 5 km, with additional water points between them. This is important on a 50 km road course where pacing and consistent fueling are key challenges. Entrants must be adults, confirm their fitness to run, and adhere to instructions from police, municipal guards, and course staff.
Silesia Maraton Katowice
Silesia Marathon is a running event in Silesia featuring a marathon, a half marathon, and an ultramarathon. The next edition is noted as the 18th, though the organizers have not yet confirmed the specific race date.
The marathon route has not been officially published. The event site displays the previous course as a reference. Participants can register for the marathon, half marathon, or ultramarathon via the form on the event website.
Semi-marathon du Loup
The Semi-marathon du Loup is a forest cross-country race held in Wilcza, a village within the Pilchowice commune in southern Poland. It focuses on trails and trees, offering a small-field atmosphere as opposed to city streets, crowds, and traffic. The name translates to “Wolf Half Marathon,” and the race embraces this theme with a close, pack-like feel at the finish.
The course winds through a forest setting, and participants are asked to treat the woods with respect, a characteristic element of the event. Finishers are awarded a unique medal, frequently featuring a wolf design. Following the race, participants can explore Wilcza and nearby Pilchowice, including the wooden Church of St. Nicholas, an eighteenth-century structure on the Wooden Architecture Route, and the palace in Pilchowice.
PKO Semi-marathon de Gliwice
The PKO Semi-marathon de Gliwice begins near PreZero Arena Gliwice, with the half-marathon runners starting at 10:00 AM. This autumn event centers on the 21.0975 km half marathon, while 10 km and 5 km races commence fifteen minutes later.
The schedule also features Nordic walking for the shorter distances, ensuring the day caters to more than just those pursuing the full half-marathon. A children’s race takes place near PreZero Arena the preceding day, and this marks the event’s ninth edition.
Pko Polmaraton Gliwicki
The PKO Półmaraton Gliwicki is an autumn race in Gliwice centered on a half marathon, also featuring a 5 km run and a Nordic Walking event. The event hub is PreZero Arena Gliwice, with the race office located near entrance A and the finish area set up there.
The half marathon begins at the Gliwice Radio Tower and concludes at PreZero Arena. Buses will transport runners from the arena area to the start. The course is a loop that impacts city center access; traffic within the Śródmieście loop can be reached from Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa during the event. Children's races are also part of the program, and their entries may close before race day.
Dragon Cross Marathon
The Dragon Cross Marathon is a trail running series held in Będkowice, within Poland’s Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Its race base is situated around Brandysówka in the Będkowska Valley. Participants can select from 12 km, 21 km, 30 km, or 50 km distances, offering a range from a shorter cross-country run to an ultra-distance event on challenging terrain. The courses bypass paved roads, utilizing Jura limestone landscapes with gorges, rocky trails, and significant rock formations.
The finish line is located beneath the Sokolica wall, a distinct feature connecting the race to this specific valley. The dragon motif is integrated into the event's naming conventions, with the 50 km race called Smoczysko and a shorter option named Smoczuś, alongside routes for children and juniors. The race weekend is further enhanced by nearby attractions: Szum waterfall, the largest natural waterfall in the Jura region, Jaskinia Nietoperzowa, a short distance from Brandysówka, and Ojców National Park featuring Maczuga Herkulesa, approximately a 20-minute drive away. Post-race, locally baked trout is offered as part of the recovery experience.
Perla Paprocan
Perła Paprocan is a flexible running event in Tychy, Poland, centered on a 7 km loop of Lake Paprocany. Participants don't need to select a distance beforehand; they can finish after one lap or continue adding laps, with the marathon distance offered for those completing six loops. This format resembles a communal long training run more than a set-distance road race.
The course follows the marked loop around the lake, ensuring every runner experiences the same path rhythm regardless of their total distance. Individual plans can adapt during the run based on fitness, mood, and weather, which is integral to the event's design. The organizers prioritize camaraderie and atmosphere over competition, and all finishers get a commemorative medal. The event also accommodates Nordic walking, and the finish line remains open until the final participant crosses it.
Kobeřický půlmaraton
The Kobeřice Half Marathon is a public event held annually in Kobeřice, organized by the local athletics club affiliated with TJ Sokol Kobeřice. This race is part of a small local running calendar, alongside two other club events: the Winter Run in Kobeřice and the Kobeřice 20k.
The club was established in the late 1980s under Hubert Jašek. Early coach-runners included Emil Kašný, Václav Měch, Jan Urbiš, Stanislav and Milan Halfar, Güntr Hanzlík, and Roman Jašek. Club members compete both within the Czech Republic and internationally. The half marathon has been featured in the Moravia and Silesia championship program. Notably, two club members, Emil Kašný and Jan Urbiš, earned FAIR-PLAY awards for life-saving actions, adding a significant human element to the race's history beyond mere athletic achievements.

About Half Marathon races in Zabrze
Zabrze Training Notes
Zabrze hosts 31 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Zabrze like a dense city with useful pockets of green. Park im. Poległych Bohaterów works for daily running because its paths stay wide, lit, and mixed underfoot. Forest Park in Mikulczyce gives trail runners uneven natural ground and a varied profile. The Gliwicki Canal path carries a several-kilometer run through nature when base miles need quiet. Arena Zabrze stadium gives a clean spot for intervals and tempo work. Local club names include Górnik Zabrze, Gwarek Zabrze, Walka Zabrze, and MKS Zabrze-Kończyce. Independence Run, parkrun, themed runs, Pko Bytomski Polmaraton, and Bieg Charytatywny Św. keep the calendar honest.
Locals ride with plenty of choice because Zabrze has 1,020 cycle routes. One route runs 6 km with 235 m up and 233 m down. Another route covers 7 km with 413 m of ascent. 6 km. Wolności 377 to Wolności 379 adds 306 m of ascent for harder Z2 or gran fondo prep. Zabrzańskie Szosowe Wyścigi Rowerowe Niezrzeszonych is the local anchor race.
June, July, and September are the best months to train here. Most people cycle in Zabrze in June and July, so group rides and steady base miles feel natural then. September suits the bike calendar, with Zabrzańskie Szosowe Wyścigi Rowerowe Niezrzeszonych landing on the last Sunday of September in 2025. Late summer and early autumn also fit the race rhythm around Pko Bytomski Polmaraton. Winter changes the job for both sports. Locals keep running on Park im. Poległych Bohaterów, Arena Zabrze, and bigger neighborhood promenades because the lit routes matter, and cyclists lean into shorter loops when long road days lose their pull.
