Bełchatów Night Run 2026

Bełchatów Night Run is one of the most atmospheric running events in the Łódź Voivodeship, transforming the streets of the "energy capital of Poland" into a lit-up route full of passion ⚡. Participants usually take on the distance of 10 km (a certified course!), accompanied by the glow of city lanterns, cheers from the locals, and the unique evening freshness 💨. It's a perfect opportunity to strive for a personal best, as night running favors high speeds, and the flat course in Bełchatów only aids in this endeavor. The atmosphere at the finish line, illuminated by neon lights and floodlights, makes every finisher feel like a true sports star ✨.

Once you collect your medal and your heart rate returns to normal, Bełchatów and its surroundings (less than an hour from Łódź) offer unique spots for night and day recovery 🏙️:

PGE Gigants of Energy: This interactive exhibition center will immerse whole families with children in the fascinating world of lignite and electric energy – learning through fun at its best 💡.

Mount Kamieńsk: Only 15-20 minutes from Bełchatów, you'll find the highest elevation in central Poland (created from the mine waste heap). It's a perfect place for couples to take a walk with a view of giant wind turbines and the panorama of the open-pit mine 🏔️.

Olszewscy Manor: A beautifully restored late Baroque manor surrounded by a city park where you can relax in the shade of old trees and experience the atmosphere of old Bełchatów 🌳.

Bełchatów "slice with lard": After a night effort, nothing tastes better than a hearty slice of country bread with homemade lard and pickled cucumber, served during local running festivals 🍞!
