Poznań Five is a 5-kilometer race held in Poznań during the Poznań Marathon weekend. It is designed for those who want the race-day atmosphere but not the full marathon distance. The race begins at 10:00 AM, with a 45-minute time limit for completion, and is suitable for both novice runners and experienced athletes testing their speed over a short, intense effort.
The race shares its finish line with the marathon, traditionally located on Plac Marka, allowing 5K participants the same final stretch as the marathon runners. It is intended for family participation during the city's running events. Runners aged 15 and older may enter, with participant numbers expected to reach several thousand. Holders of the local OK Poznań card receive a registration discount.
