Botaniczna Piątka Mikołów 2026

Botaniczna Piątka Mikołów is a 5 km night race within the Silesian Botanical Garden in Mikołów, Poland’s Śląskie region. Organized by Stowarzyszenie "Biegiem w Las," it caters to runners and walkers, offering open results and age-group classifications. The field is limited to 400 participants, divided into two starting waves of 200, maintaining a controlled atmosphere. The course consists of three laps through the garden, marked with cones and posts. Much of the path is unlit, requiring participants to bring their own light source, like a headlamp. This necessity defines the character of this edition. The event aims to encourage running and walking while showcasing the garden landscape after dark. All participants receive a race number, a commemorative metal medal, refreshments at the finish, and a sweet treat.
