Bieg Sylwestrowy Łódź is a New Year’s Eve running event in Łódź, Poland, featuring a 10 km race and a 2 km youth run. Rather than waiting indoors for midnight, participants use the year’s final day for a brief, practical dose of fresh air and exertion before evening festivities.
The route crosses Łagiewnicki Forest, offering a more tranquil, natural setting compared to many urban races in Łódź. The event embraces its year-end timing, presented as a spirited method to conclude the year, expend some energy before New Year’s Eve dinner, and then return to the city for subsequent activities.
