Pko Tarnogorski Polmaraton 2026

PKO Tarnogórski Half Marathon is a 21.1 km road race in Tarnowskie Góry, a historic Upper Silesian city with UNESCO-listed underground mine workings beneath it. It is run in summer and uses an officially certified course, so runners chasing a personal best can trust the distance. The event sits firmly in the regional running calendar and is aimed at both result-focused runners and people who mainly want to finish another half marathon. The route uses wide avenues, the town’s market square, and the green paths of the municipal park, giving the race a city feel without locking it into one type of street. Tarnowskie Góry is often called the city of gwarki, the old mining workers, and that local identity gives the event more personality than a generic road race. Spectators line the course, with the historic square singled out as a place where residents’ support can help runners through the harder parts. The profile is described as friendly for fast running, which makes the certified course especially useful for personal-record attempts.
