The Octoberforest Run takes place in late October in Jarocin, Poland, starting and finishing within the Jarocin Forest. Participants can select a 10 km or 5 km run, or a 5 km Nordic walking option. All three distances are open to individuals aged 16 and older, making the event suitable for general adult runners and walkers, not exclusively club athletes. The route is situated within the forest, deviating from a city-road course. Parking is available on Cicha Street, near the cemetery. Stowarzyszenie Biegacze Jarocin is the organizing body. Local accounts indicate it is a relatively new event, having completed its third edition. Its objectives are straightforward: encourage running, highlight the Jarocin Forest as a suitable venue for training and racing, foster intergenerational participation, and ensure equitable competition. A local review noted that participants considered the event highly successful.

Sycowska Pogoń is an annual autumn running event held in Syców, beginning in the city-center park. The primary races offer straightforward, accessible road distances: 5 km and 10 km. The event also caters to younger participants with the Bieg Małych Asów, a race specifically for children. The event begins in the morning with children in colorful T-shirts lining up before the adult races commence. The announcer calls “Ready?” and the crowd responds “YES!!!”, a brief exchange that imbues the event with its local character. Families, friends, neighbors, club runners, casual runners, and running enthusiasts from throughout Poland gather for the same race day.
