About
The 10 km race at the PKO Szczecin Half Marathon has a unique feature: runners select their distance while already on the course, with the decision point occurring around the 9.8 km mark. This event takes place in Szczecin, Poland, in late August, serving as the shorter companion to the city’s PKO half marathon and offering participants a certified 10 km distance on the same day.
The course is certified by the PZLA, ensuring the distance is measured to Polish athletics standards. The 10 km event is part of the established Szczecin half marathon program, appealing to runners who desire the atmosphere of the larger race without the commitment of a 21.1 km run. Training plans are available for the 10 km distance, suggesting the field includes both well-prepared first-time participants and experienced road runners.
