Garmin Półmaraton Gdańsk features a 5 km race, Bieg na Piątkę, with its start and finish at Polsat Plus Arena Gdańsk. Runners begin by the stadium and conclude on the field, offering a significant event atmosphere for this shorter distance, distinct from a typical street finish.
The 5 km race also includes the Firmowa Piątka, a corporate team competition for the best team performance. The overall event weekend comprises the half marathon, a half marathon relay, and Gdańsk Junior races for children and teenagers over 200, 500, and 1000 meters. This structure caters to club runners, office teams, families, younger participants, and half marathoners.
